With 15 days until the Ontario vote, a new poll found that Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservative Party remained in the lead as support for Ontario’s NDP declined.
The latest Nanos Research poll, which surveyed 500 Ontarians, found that personal computers were supported by 36.1 percent, followed by Liberals with 29.3 percent.
The NDP is in third place with 19.8%, down nearly four percentage points from last week. Support for the Green Party increased by three percentage points, ranking fourth with 7.3 percent.
The poll, commissioned by CTV News and CP24, followed a debate in Ontario by leaders on Monday.
According to the study, Ford’s party is a leader in the Greater Toronto area and beyond. Personal computers have a six percent lead over GTA liberals. The gap between the two parties is widening elsewhere in the province.
The study also found that Ford has strong support among men aged 35 to 54 and those aged 55 and over. Del Duca’s Liberals lead women with 36.8 percent.
Of those polled, 32.1% say Ford is their preferred prime minister, followed by Del Duca (21.6%) and Horvat (17.5%).
Mike Schreiner of the Green Party jumped to fourth place with 8.3% in the preferred prime ministerial poll.
A separate Nanos poll found that among the four political leaders, Schreiner left a “positive impression” among those who watched Monday’s debate.
Of the 48.3% of respondents, Schreiner had a “positive / somewhat positive” impression after the debate. However, a majority of respondents (40.2%) said no one had won the debate.
As for which provincial problem is at the top of their list, health care continues to rank highest, followed by the cost of living and inflation, in particular rising gas prices, which exceeded $ 2 a liter earlier this month.
Election day is June 2. For Ontario residents who want to vote earlier, the by-elections open tomorrow.
METHODOLOGY
Nanos conducted a hybrid telephone and online survey of dual-frame RDD (terrestrial and cell lines) at random among 515 Ontario residents aged 18 or older between May 16 and 17.
The results were statistically verified and weighted by age and gender, using the latest census information and the sample was geographically stratified to be representative of Ontario. Individuals were called at random by random dialing with a maximum of five callbacks.
The margin of error for random surveys of 515 Ontario residents is ± 4.4 percentage points, 19 times 20.
