“Although satisfaction rates may vary according to context and the news, the mayor Pedneaud-Jobin is the limit, it is on the edge ‘, as we say in English, launches Raynald Harvey, president of the firm Segma Research. At the small school, it looks like it was just a passing grade. “
If a picture was emerging from the survey conducted on behalf of the right and the FM 104 7 to 957 respondents between 16 and 19 February, is that of a Gatinois waiting for something. “He has not thrown in the towel, but he is looking accomplishments, says pollster. Much of the population is still waiting to see what will happen. The average citizen is not interested in the gestation period of a project. He wants accomplishments. “
For two years elections, Mayor Pedneaud-Jobin is not in danger, but he should be concerned about the high proportion of soft satisfied that, to use the picture, have the towel in his hands. The ‘very satisfied’ represent only 10 respondents, while “somewhat satisfied” make up half of those who share a positive view of the Gatineau mayor. These are subject to switch to the unmet camp.
The Mayor’s satisfaction rating is not immutable, notes Mr. Harvey, of especially since 2016 must be that of the actual primer of the great achievements of the current council. Work on Jacques Cartier Street nearing completion and those worth $ 32 million in the city center begin this summer. The saga of Guertin center should be completed in the coming months and Gatineau is in the race for international Mosaïcultures in 2017, a construction $ millions who will redraw the Jacques-Cartier Park, which will create hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars in economic benefits.
“People are still available and may become more satisfied, but there must achievements, insists Mr. Harvey. For now, they have not seen anything allowing them to differentiate this from the previous administration of Marc Bureau. “
This largely explains why Gatineau residents, in a proportion of 42.4%, believe that Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin and Marc Bureau, it’s all the same. “People remain on their appetite,” says Raynald Harvey. The mayor, however, can console themselves by saying that a third of respondents believe it is more effective than its predecessor.
The good mayor
Maxime Pedneaud-Jobin, much more absorbed by the current folders to the town hall as a snapshot of public opinion, does not actually beyond measure with this recent survey. “The satisfaction remains above the vote in the election, he notes. I see it positively. There is a strong majority of Gatineau residents who are satisfied. “In 2013, Mr. Jobin-Pedneaud was elected with 52% of the vote.
Describing the declining satisfaction rates in the last year” honeymoon end, “the mayor recalled that a decline in satisfaction often comes with the exercise of the function. “From the moment when decisions are made, it brings reactions, he said. We have clear priorities and that, that also means that we must say no to other things. “
The Gatineau mayor is confident that 2016 will allow it to deliver many achievements. “I know it will satisfy many people, he says. People will see progress. Is this going to satisfy disgruntled? It’s difficult to satisfy everyone. There will, however, much work will be done in 2016 and citizens will have many opportunities to make a judgment about the work we do. “
As for comparisons with Marc Bureau, Mayor Pedneaud-Jobin prefer to stay away from this kind of analysis.
“People make judgments, I do my work, he said. We must not forget that 62% of people did not vote in the last election. It’s a huge challenge to get people interested in municipal politics. “
