Liberals Creep Back
Into Contention in Toronto
Claw back support from weakening PCs in the city
Toronto, May 31st
– In a random sampling of public opinion taken by The Forum Poll™ among 1035
Toronto voters, amongst those decided and leaning, the Liberals (34%) and
Progressive Conservatives (34%) sit even. A quarter (25%) support the NDP, and
(5%) say they support the Green Party.
(2%) say they
support another party.
Respondents most
likely to say they support the Liberals include those 34 and younger (38%),
females (38%), the least wealthy (55%), the least educated (44%), public
transit users (39%), and living in North York (41%).
Respondents most
likely to say they support the PCs include those aged 55-64 (42%), males (41%),
the most wealthy (54%), with some college/university (35%), or a
college/university (35%) or post-graduate degree (32%), and living in Etobicoke
(48%).
Respondents most
likely to say they support the NDP include those aged 35-44 (31%), earning
$40,000-$60,000 (32%) or $80,000-$100,000 (31%), with a post-graduate degree
(28%), and living in East York (37%).
“Following months of
weak numbers for the Liberals, they’ve bounced back slightly in fortress
Toronto, likely their most important region. With a variety of big-ticket,
campaign-style announcements in the budget and its aftermath, it seems as
though for now, the Liberals are making inroads with the electorate,” said Dr.
