This will put even more pressure on Gregor Robertson to run for mayor.

It's hard for anyone to get any regular work done as the civic battle continues to heat up. Tonight, the Non-Partisan Association board has to decide whether it is going to green light its sitting politicians, particularly Mayor Sam Sullivan. The board is going to hear the results gathered by pollster Greg Lyle and they don't look good, from all reports. "In the toilet" is one phrase being used. The numbers, which I caution are just going around verbally and I have no way of verifying them, are that Sullivan would lose to declared candidate Allan DeGenova by 3-4 points, to Vision Coun. Raymond Louie by 9-11 points, and to NDP MLA Gregor Robertson by 18-25 points.[/q]
