Olivia Chow holds an 11-point lead over challenger Brad Bradford in Toronto’s mayoral race, according to a new public opinion poll focused on decided voters. The poll finds Chow ahead of Bradford by 11 points, indicating a clear advantage for the incumbent as the election approaches.
The outlets report the lead as an improvement compared with an earlier survey conducted by the same polling firm. Liaison Strategies compares the latest results with its Aug. 7 poll, saying Chow’s position moves “back toward a clearer” standing. Chow is seeking a second term and continues to present herself as the incumbent, while Bradford campaigns to unseat her.
