Gondek leading mayoral race, with 33% of Calgarians still undecided: CBC News poll
CBC
Editor's note: This CBC survey was conducted Sept. 22 to 30, 2021 by Alberta-based Trend Research under the direction of Janet Brown Opinion Research. The survey sampled 1,000 residents of the City of Calgary. As always, it should be remembered that a poll is a snapshot in time.
A new poll conducted exclusively for CBC Calgary shows Jyoti Gondek leading a crowded field in the race to become Calgary's next mayor.
Gondek has 40 per cent support among decided and leaning voters. Jeromy Farkas is a close second with 32 per cent support. And Jeff Davison is third with 11 per cent support.
Among the other candidates running, Jan Damery and Brad Field each garner four per cent support, and the rest of the candidates each have the support of two per cent or less.
Thirty-three per cent of Calgary voters remain undecided.
Still, the numbers among decided voters are not the whole story. Name recognition is also a factor in the race.
With just over one week left before election day, the poll suggests name recognition is key in the mayoral campaign race.
