Well, matters of my own bias aside, online polls are still worthless. In fact, I think there's a major challenge in polling such a small population when voter turnout is expected to be so low. I think we're basically still in the dark when it comes to the mood of likely voters in this election.
Its only surprising because its the Sun. In reality though its just another online poll and we all know how easy these are to rig. A few twitters to supporters and some facebook messages and it might look like the next mayor is mainly concerned about chicken farming.

If any candidate is crushing like that its either McIver or Higgins.
