At my work there are on only a couple out of a hundred people that I know that will attend events, infact I know more people that will simply leave for vacation.
Also a popular miss conception is that Metro Vancouver residents got to vote on the Olympics, this is incorrect, only the citizens of the city of Vancouver which represents 25% of the regions population got to vote.

I tried to find sources of your claim that the majority were not happy with the Olympics and could not find any. The most relative one I found was that
only 50% of BC residents thought the games would have positive impact on BC. This poll however, didn't have anything to do with whether or not people were unhappy with the Olympics.
Would it be possible to post a link to the survey? I would just like to see how it was worded.
