Ahhh...i misread that he was at 5%. Eiether way, any votes he sends towards her should be a help, not a hurt...at least i would think.
i was reading this just a bit ago....is this an anomoly compared to other polls?

Nenshi has now rocketed to 30 per cent, tied with Higgins and just behind Ric McIver's 33 per cent support, according to a Leger Marketing survey of 500 Calgarians conducted between Oct. 6 and 11.

And this is why i believe that nenshi doesnt see the support at the ballot compared to the polling....

Nenshi's online strength translates to a solid 43 per cent backing among Calgarians aged 18 to 34. But that demographic is least likely to vote, meaning that getting out the vote for his campaign will prove vital in a race that's far too close to call, Young said.

Its always been like that at election time. Young people have the power to actually tip the scales, but rarely do they get out in enough numbers to make the difference they seek.
