A poll done last week for the Postmedia chain of newspapers indicates that NDP candidate Jennifer Hollett is leading her Liberal opponent Chrystia Freeland by 37 to 31 percent. The women are contesting the newly- created riding of University Rosedale, known locally as U-R. The story is published in the weekend National Post. The poll was taken by Mainstreet Research on September 28 and 29, 2015. The Hollett performance is a bright spot for the NDP which has seen its support slide in recent weeks, even in areas where it is traditionally strong. Olivia Chow, who has been out in front of Liberal MP Adam Vaughan in the new riding of Spadina-Fort York, is now said to be neck and neck with Mr. Vaughan. The Liberals are thought to be running well in much of Toronto.
