Immigration: George Smitherman

Research Poll Dept: Since the last Nanos research poll in June, his share of popular support among all voters has nearly doubled, from 17.8 per cent to 34.4 per cent. Among decided voters, he is at an eye-popping 45.8 per cent, fully 24 points ahead of second-place George Smitherman, according to Globe And Mail. That Mr. Ford should have 62 per cent of decided voters on his home turf of Etobicoke is no surprise. That an unabashedly suburban candidate who promises to make the car king and get rid of downtown streetcar lines should be leading in the old pre-amalgamation City of Toronto is astounding and the notion that voters would turn off Mr. Ford once they got a good look at him in the bright September sun simply has not panned out. To the contrary, the more they see of him, the more they like him. Far from rallying to stop the Ford-loving suburban hordes from seizing the city, downtown voters are joining the assault in growing numbers. As reported in the news.
@t streetcar lines, bright september
