With Olivia Chow’s numbers softening, Toronto’s mayoral race has been in need of a new frontrunner. Now, courtesy of a new Nanos Research poll conducted on behalf of CTV and the Globe, it may actually have one: John Tory. The former radio host and ex-Ontario PC leader has been polling increasingly well lately, but this latest survey of 1,000 voters is the first to give him a decisive lead over both Chow and Rob Ford. This poll is also notable for being one of only a handful not to have been conducted by Forum Research, which isn’t to say that Forum isn’t credible. It’s nice to have a little independent corroboration of these shifts in voter intention, is all. The results shown above are among decided voters only. The Globe says 17 per cent of respondents were undecided.
