Vision Vancouver candidate, Gregor Robertson, has confessed that the campaign to win a third term as mayor will not be an easy deal as internal polling by his party shows that Non-Partisan Association’s Kirk LaPointe is gaining momentum. During a meeting with reporters, former NDP member of the legislature confessed that “a third term is never a simple proposition.”

The centre-left Vision Vancouver and the centre-right NPA both speculated on Thursday that next week’s election might be closer than most voters think. Mr. LaPointe stated that “the polls that are in newspapers and so on are pretty dated,” adding that “it began to change 12, 14 days ago. Now we know that this is a battle down to the last few days. There is a good reason why [Vision’s] ads got much more aggressive. The votes have gotten tighter and even [Vision’s] own literature to their followers has [said] that it’s a tight race. Our research indicates that too.”

Whereas on the other hand, Vision Vancouver’s campaign manager, Mike Magee, mentioned in an internal memo circulated among campaign staff this week that there is a change in the race. He alleged that “our research shows that in the Mayor race, Gregor has a lead over Kirk LaPointe among likely voters, but it’s very tight.” Whereas, Vision’s communications director, Marcella Munro, also alleged that “It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to watch how hard we’ve been working in the last three or four days to see that we’re taking this very seriously.”
