(31%) say they would support the Liberals, with (22%) in favour of the NDP, and
(6%) saying they would vote Green. (2%) say they would support another party.
Respondents who say
they would support the Progressive Conservatives include those aged 45-54 (48%),
males (48%), earning $80,000-$100,000 (45%), with some college/university (38%)
or a college/university degree (39%), who drive to work or school (46%), live
in Etobicoke (45%) or North York (43%), and support Doug Ford for Mayor (56%).

“The Progressive Conservatives still lead in
Toronto, a region which the Liberals need if they have any hope of re-election.
It won’t be surprising to see the Liberals include some Toronto-specific
goodies in their budget to try and woo back their disaffected supporters in the
city,” said Dr. Lorne Bozinoff, President of Forum Research
