Doug Ford is said to have a two percent lead, 36.7 percent to 34.7 percent, over Christine Elliott in the contest for leadership of the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party. The poll by Mainstreet Research shows that Caroline Mulroney is preferred by 20 percent of respondents. The poll was done between February 21 and Monday of some 17,000 PC party members. “The chances of Ford and Elliott winning are that of flipping a coin,” Mainstreet President Quito Maggi told a news release. “There are so many intangibles that will impact the outcome of this race which makes it difficult to predict.”
