Ford’s worst rating was in September 2019 at 26 per cent but it rebounded at the beginning of the pandemic.

This quarter of the Maru Public Opinion poll was from a survey done between Aug. 26 and Sept. 8 of 5,278 randomly selected Canadian adults who are Maru Voice Canada online panelists. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.4 per cent, 19 times out of 20. Polling is released regularly, every three months.
