“With Doug Ford’s controversial entry into the mayoral campaign, and subsequent media coverage and momentum, he has successfully positioned himself as the Tory alternative,” said Mainstreet Technologies President, Quito Maggi in a media release.
“Tory’s numbers are solid across Toronto, particularly among those voters most likely to vote. His challenge will be to sustain support until October 27th. At this stage, Olivia Chow has taken a back seat.”
The Mainstreet Technologies Interactive Voice Response poll was conducted on Sept. 28 with 2,409 respondents and a margin of error of +/- 1.99 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
