A poll by Nanos Research suggests the Liberals and Progressive Conservatives are in a close contest to win next Thursday’s General Election. Somewhat unusually, no clear winner emerged from the leaders debate seen on TV last Tuesday but the poll shows voters trending toward the present government. . The numbers above are said to place either party in a position to gain a small plurality. The Globe and Mail, one of the sponsors of the poll, says the campaign remains “a three-horse race”. The NDP, led by Andrea Horwath, is enjoying its highest level of support — some 25 percent — since the party ruled the province in the early 1990s. The results would seem to put the province on the road to a minority government. Other sponsors of the poll were CTV and CP24.
