Another poll gives John Tory a comfortable lead over Doug Ford

[sjm_poll_chart]

No surprises here: like a dozen other polls before it, this survey of 2,265 Torontonians by political consultancy Mainstreet Technologies puts John Tory in the lead. Like the most recent Forum Research poll, this one gives Tory a healthy margin of victory, meaning we can now be at least somewhat certain that the one poll that showed Doug Ford pulling ahead was a statistical blip. With only a little more than a week to go before election day, we’re at the point where these things should (emphasis on should) be getting a little more predictive of the actual outcome. That’s bad news for Olivia Chow, who’s still bringing up the rear.
