As time ticks down toward the June 26 mayoral election, former NDP MP Olivia Chow appears to be widening her commanding lead over a crowded pack of rivals, according to recent opinion polls.
And, after 13 years of centrist or right-leaning rule, voters“Chow is breaking ahead from the rest,” said Forum president Lorne Bozinoff. “It may be tough for anyone else to catch up.”
Other candidates’ efforts to tarnish her appeal in recent debates have backfired, Bozinoff said. “She’s taken the brunt of the attacks and handled it really well,” he said, making her seem more, rather than less, mayoral. Saunders, a conservative, appears to be bleeding support to Furey, an executive of the hard-right True North media platform, Bozinoff said, while centrists Hunter and Bailão are losing left-leaning support to Chow.Polling since April has shown Chow growing support while Matlow, a 13-year city councillor and fellow progressive with Liberal ties, seems to have lost steam.as election signs and advertising help Torontonians tune into the election.
