The benchmark for politicians extremely low...
Even with using "relatively" to draw a comparison to other regions, the rest of the language used gives the connotation of minimising/marginalising the fairly large minority of people who don't support him, which provincially, would equate to more people than live in our largest city.
Just reminds me of some of the things I like least about politics (all politics, regardless of party).
Edit: This is moreso directed to frustration/annoyance with the election we just had where it feels like it was more about gamesmanship than policies and ideas.
