This result is sort of surprising but not surprising at the same time.
On the one hand, Council did some things early on that rattled a lot of people for different reasons (climate city, the arena deal etc.); but on the other hand, they have been pretty invisible (as Wormius correctly noted).
Is invisibility in municipal politics a good thing or a bad thing?
On the flip side, I would suspect most city governments are taking a massive hit in popularity as we move out from post-covid fallout, high interest rates, housing issues, homeless, crime etc.
