Half disapprove of Rob Ford on HHOF board
One
half of Toronto voters disapprove of the appointment of Rob Ford to the Board
of Directors of the Hockey Hall of Fame (48%), while just less than 4-in-10
approve of this appointment (39%). Just more than a tenth have no opinion (13%).
Approval of the appointment is characteristic of the least wealthy (51%), Rob
Ford voters (78%), in Scarborough (45%), provincial PC voters (52%) and those
who disapprove of John Tory 64%).
"The Mayor’s approval
continues to remain high, and the more people see of him, the less likely their
approval is to fade. Approval of Rob Ford’s appointment to the Hockey Hall of
Fame’s board is dependent completely on your support of Rob Ford - his
partisans think it’s a great idea, but if they were in the majority, his
brother would be mayor," said Forum Research President, Dr. Lorne
Bozinoff.
