Though I wonder the accuracy of online polls in representing the general population given most of Nenshi support is drawn from the youth and social media.
Something like the 660 news polls - Nenshi's team posts - "go vote in this poll to support Naheed" on facebook with the link and within ten minutes several hundred supporters have gone and voted.
Not so with online forums like CP, or Beyond, although with these it's more politically engaged and a younger demographic than the general public.

Nenshi supporter's online dedication is an indication that they are heavily enganged, are certainly likely to vote and more importantly are persuaders to friends and family who are less engaged. Watching Nenshi's facebook followers rise in the past week or two has been something else. I think he's up by about 500 'likes' just since this morning. That's a third the number of Higgins' total 'likes'.
