- Nanos surveyed 757 Toronto residents online and by telephone from October 8 to 10, with a ±3.6-point margin of error.
- Among decided voters, Chow leads Bradford 51% to 47%, giving her an approximately 3.5-point advantage.
- Among decided and undecided voters, Chow has 43%, Bradford 39%, other candidates 1%, and undecided voters 17%.
- Chow leads Toronto/East York 49% to 30%, while Bradford leads North York 45.6% to 38.8%.
The fact of the matter is that even in Toronto/East York, where Olivia Chow is strong, she can focus on delivering even more voters from that area because they tend to be more disposed to her.— Nik Nanos, chief data scientist and founder of Nanos Research, said in his analysis accompanying the poll.
