Upwards of 90% would want an election on the Mayor spot as well as all of the councilors with a mind to replace them all.

The latest polls - admittedly about a week old now - still had Ford with good support against many hypothetical opponents, albeit not in a winning position. His support was certainly far in excess of the levels you imply.
So yes, really. Ford's best shot at re-election is to go into rehabilitation and try to come out as a 'reformed' man. But since he instead appears intent on self destructing, then now really is his best shot at re-election because he's still got a solid 25-30% as base support in those hypothetical election scenarios while an election campaign could be used to distract the populace from his near daily transgressions.
