It asked residents how they would personally rate council's performance since being elected.
"For as long as there has been municipal public opinion polling in Calgary, there has never been a city council this unpopular," said Marc Henry, ThinkHQ president.
"It's certainly a low point for this council."
ThinkHQ surveyed 1,138 Calgarians with only 30 per cent saying they "strongly" or "somewhat" approve of the job Mayor Jyoti Gondek is doing.
"She never did get off to a very good start," Henry said.
"The first time we checked on her approval, a few months into her term, she was at 38 per cent."
