Though more voters liked Doug Ford than the other top leaders, not all of them will vote for the Conservative Party

That gap has been narrowing over the past eight months, said Andrew Enns, executive vice-president at Leger. In March 2021, a Leger poll had the Conservatives at 38 per cent — a 10-point lead over the NDP. The Liberals were in third place with 23 per cent.

He expects the Conservatives won’t be thrilled with how far their support has fallen since the 2018 election, when they won with 40.5 per cent of the vote. The NDP got 33.6 per cent of votes then, while the Liberals fell from ruling party to third place with just 19.6 per cent.Article content “It seems that things are in a bit of a holding pattern for voters. The Conservatives still have a small lead. But when you take into account the potential margin of error for a poll of this size, you’re looking at a very close race between the Progressive Conservatives and the Liberals,” Enns said.The Liberals have the most support in the Metro Toronto area compared to 28 per cent for the PCs.

“I would suspect that there will be some hard questions of why that might be and how they will try to get back up to the level that they were at in 2018,” Enns said.For all three major leaders, more voters had an unfavourable impression of them than favourable. For Ford, 54 per cent of voters had an unfavourable impression of him, while for Horwath it was 41 per cent and Del Duca 39 per cent.

Zero chance he gets in. Maybe if he sends police EMS fire and HCWs back to work who were unjustly terminated

Lol not by along shot unless media is the only one counted. Doug will be the premier war mouth will be replaced and not sure where del will be other than lost in the vote .

FORD WILL WIN BUT NEEDS TO GO BACK TO CONSERVATIVE WAYS AND NOT BACK DOWN . STAND YOUR GROUND DOUGGY

Stephen Del Luca, does he ever talk? We never see or hear him. What are his views on anything? Always hear Andrea Horwath.

Ford will likely win another majority. Best thing the Ontario Libs have going for them right now is Ontario doesn't know who Del Duca is nor how big a part of the Wynne government he was. When they realize he would be Wynne 2.0, his numbers will likely tank and deservedly so.

Don’t give up on NDP, never been a supporter but had enough of the other two idiot parties. I’m ready to let someone else screw us over, and yes I do remember Rae days

I don’t think so, no one forgets the crap Whinnie put us through! This is any easy win for Ford!

Only because the NDP exists 😒

Ontario politics are always a race to the bottom. fixing healthcare? No. reducing urban sprawl / traffic? No. make our tax dollar more efficient? Nope. Break the pseudomonopolies of auto insurance and telecomms? No. Talk a lot? Fail on promises? You betcha!

Vote this clusterford in again?

Really? Barely anyone even knows who Steven Del Duca is. 🙄

As much as I cannot stand Ford, we cannot have a repeat of the Liberals. Unfortunately, Ford is the lesser of the evil (very sad to say).

4 day work week and big discount on tires. That pretty much sums up the Lib platform.

Same old same old. Unfortunate.

I doubt it will be close. In 3.5 years, he's pissed off healthcare workers, teachers, optometrists, parents of autistic kids, environmentalists, anyone with a brain and anyone living within 50KMS of Bradford. DontGetConned StopVotingForAssholes

DoFo gets re-elected I’m hoping we can dump these ridiculous Covid restrictions

Nope, it'll be a bloodbath. Ford's scorched bread.

I'm surprised Ford would want to run again after a rough term.

Punt Ford

All he had to do was govern like an actual conservative and this would not be close but instead he did the exact opposite! We literally destroyed the liberal party in the last election and now they are right back again!

It will be one sided unfortunately - Ford will win!!!

No it won't.

guess we all know what ont will vote for. they proved it in the fed election they like crappy politicians.

The best thing to do is to stay home and laugh at the game show elections

Not a good sign for the polls to be saying its a close race when nobody even knows who the fuck the Liberal leader is

LOL
