Rob Ford’s popularity has rebounded, according to a new poll

A poll conducted on June 23 by Forum Research finds that Rob Ford will still be a major contender in the mayoral election when he makes his return from rehab on Monday. Despite other polls over the past four months that have shown him steadily shedding vote share to Olivia Chow and John Tory, the mayor is back up at 27 per cent, second only to Chow at 34 per cent. This week’s other big winner is David Soknacki, who is now at six per cent (up from three), putting him in a tie with “don’t know.”
