Cities poll: Watts 73 per cent approval in Surrey, where crime the biggest fear; Robertson 52 per cent, affordable housing tops the worry list

March 9th, 2014 · 106 Comments

This poll out today from Insights West, with mayoral approval ratings, city ratings on handling of various issues (Vancouver’s disapproval over growth and development is at 42 per cent), and biggest areas of concern.

I’m struck by the low number of undecideds in Vancouver and Surrey. Usually it’s higher than that in polling taken at this early date. Often people don’t even know who the mayor IS until a few weeks before the election.

    Madam:

    Please stop. You are embarrassing yourself. You are confusing new product innovations with brand loyalty. If this was a Woody Allen movie David Olgilvy would step into frame and school you on your ignorance about advertising and marketing.

    Thank you and have a pleasant evening.

    CK
