Probably a 4 option poll:
Satisfied
Somewhat Satisfied
Somewhat dissatisfied
Dissatisfied
Then who knows from that article what Nenshi meant by "Spend more" was he even speaking about this poll directly?
Was he saying:
A) Spend more on bike lanes
B) Spend more than we already are spending on the bike lanes (what the article is suggesting he said)
C) Don't spend another penny on the bike lanes
From the poll it seems 33% are in group A, 20% in group B, and 47% in group C

The survey actually asked:
Investment for bikes on streets (in regards to 2014 spending):
47% said spend less
33% said spend the same
20% said spend more
So Nenshi is either confused, quoted improperly, or fudging the numbers.
