Former NDP MP Olivia Chow is entering the final weeks of Toronto’s mayoral campaign the undisputed front-runner, according to a Forum Research poll for the Toronto Star.
“Chow’s lead remains untouchable,” after seven weeks of the 12-week campaign, said Forum president Lorne Bozinoff. “Other candidates have yet to connect strongly with voters.”
Despite her two per cent dip from a Forum poll a week earlier, support for Chow remains nearly triple that of her nearest rivals, according to the new poll.
Bear in mind that the last go round Chow’s “unassailable” lead crashed and burned as Toronto woke up to the communist horror the city faced.
The Star touted polls that had George Smitherman, perhaps the most vile candidate ever, running neck and neck with Rob Ford who won by a huge margin.
Still this is not a good sign, the right simply is not going to get behind Saunder’s just because he is Doug Ford’s choice. He was colourless as Police Chief and remains unknowable and face it the right has grown suspicious of Doug Ford.
I fully expect Toronto to be worse off in all things should Chow be elected, communism doesn’t work, never has.
