Vancouver B.C. (15 Feb 2014) \u2013 If a strong mayoral candidate declares him or herself in the coming months, Vision Vancouver <\/strong>mayor Gregor Robertson<\/strong> may face some meaningful competition for his job.<\/p>\n

With municipal elections about nine months away, a January 2014 survey of Vancouver residents by Justason Market Intelligence finds the largest number of decided voters would support a candidate other than mayor Gregor Robertson (56%). About 44 per cent would support Gregor Robertson.<\/p>\n

\"Slide1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Which party could hold a majority in City Council?<\/h4>\n

The poll suggests the mayor ultimately elected in November will govern alongside a Vision Vancouver<\/strong> majority in City Council.<\/p>\n

Following some high profile departures from COPE<\/strong>, support for Vision Vancouver<\/b> has increased directionally to 43 per cent. Support for the Green Party<\/b> has increased five points to 23 per cent, overtaking the Non-partisan Association (NPA)<\/b>, whose base support level is relatively unchanged at 20 per cent.<\/b><\/p>\n

Notably, the Green <\/strong>position assumes the party will run a larger roster of council candidates. Otherwise, current numbers suggest NPA<\/strong>, who continue to maintain a steady support base, should retain their “official opposition” status.<\/p>\n
