Hollett and Freeland tied in
University-Rosedale
Liberals gain as NDP falls
back
TORONTO September 30th, 2015 - In a random
sampling of public opinion taken by the Forum Poll™ among 604 voters in the new
Toronto federal riding of University-Rosedale, equal proportions, just fewer
than 4-in-10, will vote for the Liberal quasi-incumbent, Chrystia Freeland
(38%) or the NDP candidate, Jennifer Hollett (39%). This stands in comparison
to one month ago, when Hollett had a 14 point lead (August 26, NDP - 46%,
Liberals - 32%). The Conservative candidate, Karim Jivraj, takes one fifth of
the vote (20%) and the Green Party candidate, Nick Wright, takes very few votes
(3%).
“This riding looked like an easy move for the NDP a month
ago when they were riding high in the polls, but now that they may be slipping
across the country, we are seeing the effect locally as well,” said Forum
Research President, Dr. Lorne Bozinoff.
