A new Forum poll gives John Tory his lead back
[sjm_poll_chart items=”Chow-23,DFord-33,Tory-39,Ford-0,Soknacki-0,Stintz-0″ scale=”165″]
This latest Forum Research poll, conducted with input from 1241 Toronto residents on October 15, shows results consistent with those of other polls released since August. John Tory has a comfortable lead over Doug Ford, and Olivia Chow still trails with less than a quarter of the vote. Although none of this is particularly surprising, it’s nevertheless a huge departure from last week’s Forum poll, which put Ford and Tory in a virtual tie. Pollsters usually qualify their results by saying that they’re “considered accurate 19 times out of 20.” That previous poll may just have been number 20.

What surprises me about this poll is the 23% that are still supporting Chow. Who are these people and how far removed from reality they are.
