More than a third of Vancouverites regard Green councillor Adriane Carr as a “good choice” for city mayor, according to a new poll.

Results of a recent survey by Research Co. show that Carr is seen by 35 percent of respondents to be a worthy choice.

The same poll also indicates that half or 50 percent of Vancouverites like to see a single mayoral candidate backed by Vision Vancouver, the Green Party of Vancouver, Coalition of Progressive Electors, and OneCity.

Carr’s new popularity rating represents a nine percent increase over her score of 26 percent in a previous Research Co. poll.

New survey results released Thursday (May 3) place Vision Vancouver councillor Raymond Louie at second, trailing Carr in double digits with 19 percent.

The poll also shows independent Jean Swanson at 17 percent, and Non-Partisan Association (NPA) councillor Hector Bremner, 11 percent.

The list of contenders in the survey included Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart with a rating of 10 percent.

The results for other likely contenders are as follows: NPA park board commissioner John Coupar, nine percent; and academic and environmentalist Shauna Sylvester and transgender activist Morgane Oger at seven percent.

The list included urban geographer Colleen Hardwick with a rating of eight percent.

The Research Co. survey was conducted from April 28 to April 30. The poll had 400 adult respondents.

Carr earlier told the Georgia Straight that she will decide soon whether or not to run for mayor.

Carr is expected to make an announcement sometime after the May 6 and May 7 talks to be hosted by the Vancouver and District Labour Council among representatives of Vision, Green party, COPE, OneCity, and the team of Swanson.
