Minnan-Wong and
Caplan Effectively Tied
Toronto, October 16th – In a random sampling of public
opinion taken by The Forum Poll™ among 410 Don Valley East voters, amongst
those decided and leaning, about 4 in 10 (39%) say they will support incumbent
Denzil Minnan-Wong, while a third (35%) say they will support former MPP David
Caplan.
Few say they will support Michael Woulfe (5%), Stephen Ksiazek (5%),
Diane Gadoutsis (3%) or Aria Alavi (3%).
About 1 in 10 (10%) say they will support another candidate.
Tory has a decided edge in Don Valley
East
Tory’s
support (62%) is three times higher than Keesmaat (19%) in Don Valley East.
About
one fifth (19%) of Don Valley East voters say they are supporting one of the
other candidates.
“Minnan-Wong
and Caplan are deadlocked, and see results that are effectively equal,” said Dr. Lorne Bozinoff, President of Forum
Research. “While Caplan isn’t an incumbent, his name recognition
in Don Valley East is clearly a factor with voters, though at this point it’s
difficult to say which candidate will prevail.”
