Anthony Furey and Mitzie Hunter were in a virtual tie for fourth at 8.7 per cent and 8.3 per cent, respectively.released last week while Bailao was down three points.The survey was conducted between June 9 and June 11, in the days following aand work with his campaign to “stop Olivia Chow.” But it would appear that the gambit did not have its desired effect, with Chow’s support among decided voters now hovering around the highest level it has been all campaign per Mainstreet Research polling.
Chow is most popular in Toronto’s downtown core, where she has the support of 37 per cent of decided voters. But she also has a double digit lead in North York and Etobicoke, where she has the support of about 26 per cent of voters. The only region in which Chow trails is Scarborough, where Bailao has a three point edge.
The poll, however, shows that about 18 per cent of voters are still undecided with less than two weeks until election day.A total of 833 adults participated in the survey, which was conducted using automated telephone interviews. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.4 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
