I am a Nenshi supporter, so happy to see this. I do think that mayoralty approval ratings are higher in general though. There's no official opposition or anything shadowing your every move like other levels of government. As long as peoples garbage gets picked up, they have a CFD, CPS and CT to rely on things are good (generalising, before someone flames me for saying that). The reality is that voter apathy is huge at the municipal level.
Winning an election with 90% of the vote against NO OTHER opposition is not the same as an 86% approval rating. Bronco couldn't even come close to that. 86% is Ralph Klein territory. Great job Nenshi!
