A poll of prominent potential mayoral candidates finds former NDP MP Olivia Chow and former police chief Mark Saunders with the most support ahead of the official April 3 start of the byelection to replace John Tory.
The Forum Research survey of 1,009 Torontonians saw Chow as the choice of 24 per cent of deciding and leaning voters and Saunders with 22 per cent support — a statistical tie because the gap between them is within the poll’s margin of error.
Olivia has lost every election she has run in since the passing of her husband Jack “Velvet Touch” Layton.
When she last ran for Mayor it was to wide acclaim by all the usual suspects, that is the Star.
She was miles ahead in the polls until common sense prevailed.
You’d think she’d get the message.
Ps. Neither Chowcescu or Saunders are impressive candidates let’s hope Furey picks up steam.
