According to the survey, 57% of respondents believe Vancouver is on the “wrong track,” with an overwhelming 81% choosing “mostly because of poor choices made by those at City Hall.”
When Abacus Data asked who they would vote for today as the Mayor of Vancouver, independent incumbent Kennedy Stewart and Ken Sim are neck-to-neck at 13% and 14%, respectively. This is followed by Green Party councillor Adrianne Carr at 6%, independent councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung at 3%, and independent councillor Colleen Hardwick and former Vision Vancouver councillor Andrea Reimer each at 2%.
Mark Marissen and NPA Park Board commissioner John Coupar have also launched their own mayoral campaigns, with each individual polling at 1%. Sim, who narrowly lost to Stewart by under 1,000 votes in the 2018 civic election, while representing the NPA at the time, announced his plan to run earlier this spring.

Three school trustees abandon NPA caucus after this week s departure of three city councillors The only remaining NPA caucus members are park commissioner and mayoral candidate John Coupar, park commissioner Tricia Barker, and Coun.

The NPA caucus has lost another key contingent its three members on school board.
Trustees Carmen Cho, Oliver Hanson, and Fraser Ballantyne are all sitting as independents for the balance of their terms.
Their decision came in the wake of an earlier announcement this week that three NPA councillors Lisa Dominato, Colleen Hardwick, and Sarah Kirby-Yung had decided to quit caucus and sit as independents.
“We have heard loud and clear from NPA members and supporters that the actions of the Board and John Coupar do not reflect the standards of transparency, integrity and accountability we all expect from the NPA and each other,” said Hardwick in a statement.
“NPA supporters and Vancouverites deserve better, which is why the three of us are stepping away from the NPA to sit as a group of independents. Instead of a fair and democratic process to select the best mayoral candidate, the NPA Board and John Coupar sidelined the elected members of the NPA and made a backroom deal. By any measure, it was about as old-boys-club as it gets.”
