With six weeks left before the General Election on June 7, the Forum Research Poll has thrown up results indicating the PC Party under Doug Ford might receive as much as 46 percent of the popular vote if the election were held today, The April 18 survey suggested that 27 percent of voters would vote NDP and 21 percent Liberal. It’s an open question just how many people have seen the Liberal ad campaign called The Real Doug Ford, which has been airing for a few days. But Forum says that “the bump” in support created by the Liberal budget has faded. Two days before the poll was conducted, the Ontario NDP released its party platform, calling for universal pharmacare and dental care, higher corporate taxes and the re-purchase of Hydro One to make it public. Four percent of respondents said they would vote Green while two per cent expressed support for another party.
