| Description | Rob Ford has a slight edge in Toronto’s two-horse mayoral race with a week to go until election day, according to a new poll that also suggests support for third-place contender Joe Pantalone is stagnant and soft.
A Nanos Research poll for The Globe and Mail, CTV and CP24 conducted after Rocco Rossi quit last week found that 43.9 per cent of decided voters support Rob Ford, 40.5 per cent support George Smitherman and 15 per cent support Joe Pantalone.
Support for Mr. Ford and Mr. Smitherman is much more firm than support for Mr. Pantalone, the poll also found.
The momentum is clearly with Mr. Smitherman, who appears to have captured the lion's share of support from Mr. Rossi and another former candidate, Sarah Thomson.
Mr. Smitherman's support has nearly doubled from 21.3 per cent a month ago, while Mr. Ford and Mr. Pantalone have both seen their support slip, though not by much, from 45.8 per cent for Mr. Ford and 16.8 per cent for Mr. Pantalone. |
