The Race To Be Mayor Of Toronto: David Miller Faces Serious Challenger In Jane Pitfield
Toronto, ON - A new Ipsos Reid survey of 804 Torontonians reveals that current Toronto Mayor David Miller may be facing a serious challenger from the camp of mayoral candidate Jane Pitfield.
According to the survey, among decided voters in Toronto, David Miller attracts 55% support compared to 40% support for Jane Pitfield (meanwhile 43% of all Torontonians remain undecided or don't know which candidate they would support). But given the voter conditions often surrounding municipal elections, it would appear that Ms. Pitfield's efforts may be further bolstered by the fact that among those Torontonians who say they are "absolutely certain" (62% of all Torontonians) to vote in the upcoming election, support for the two contenders is almost tied: 51% support for David Miller vs. 46% support for Jane Pitfield.
