Despite fallout from the deadly Ghost Ship fire and a growing homeless problem, Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf still has a 2-to-1 favorable rating among city voters, according to a new Oakland Chamber of Commerce poll.

The chamber’s annual Pulse of Oakland survey of 500 voters shows Schaaf with a favorable rating of 61 percent, compared to an unfavorable rating of 30 percent.

Pretty much on par with last year, said pollster David Metz, with FM3 the research firm that did the poll. On the other hand, less than half of the voters surveyed felt the city was headed in the right direction.

The biggest concern by far is the city’s exploding homeless problem, with 92 percent saying homelessness was an “extreme” or “very serious” problem.

The second-biggest concern, at 77 percent, was the lack of housing for middle class families, followed by fear of rising rents, at 76 percent.

One big shift was crime as a problem, which dropped from third place showing of 70 percent in 2015 to seventh place at 45 percent.
