Just think about the bolded.
It doesn’t point to someone being polarizing, it points to the fact that Nenshi is the most well-known of all the people listed, specifically in Calgary. Of course he’s going to have the most positive and the most negative. Outside of Hoffman, the majority of people don’t even know who any of the others are.
If you’re looking for the most polarizing based on the negative/positive split, it would be Hoffman by far, followed by Stonehouse, and then Nenshi with Pancholi and Ganley being virtually the same in terms of polarization as he is.
And the fact that positive sentiment toward Nenshi polled over 50% in Calgary is an extremely good endorsement if they’re trying to win Calgary. Nobody else came close.
I don’t know what numbers you guys are looking at because they don’t tell anything close to the story you have in your head.
