I did a straw poll of the coworkers I was riding in a vehicle with earlier this week. There were 4 other engineers, all of whom are older and make more than me. These are reasonably educated people.
None of them had heard of Nenshi, except for one guy who thought he recognized the name as one of the offbeat fringe candidates. They were all of the opinion the race is between McIvor and Barb Higgins.
Current votes were mostly for McIvor, on a "someone credible who isn't a talking head newscaster" rationale. One guy said his mom was voting Higgins, because she trusts her.
