In your sentence it means 'in relation to'

vis-à-vis (vē'zə-vē') n., pl. vis-à-vis (-vēz', -vē').

as a preposition

1)Face to face with; opposite to.

2)Compared with.

3)In relation to.

as an adverb.

1)One that is face to face with or opposite to another.

2) A date or an escort, as at a party.

3)One that has the same functions and characteristics as another; a counterpart.

It means face to face, usually.

But in your context, it means "in relation to"

for example: "income vis-à-vis expenditures"

In your case:- "electoral strength in relation to the opponents"

"Eye to eye against", I think.

Middle of the Road. Not progressive, not oldies but somewhere in the middle. Can be sleep inducing :-)

In English, it is used to mean "concerning" or "in relation to".
