Survey Indicates Poll Loss For McGuinty Government

AHN News Staff

Toronto, Ontario, Canada (AHN) – A survey by Ipsos Reid shows that the Liberal-run Ontario government is at risk of losing if an election was held tomorrow. About 41 percent of survey respondents said they would vote for Progressive Conservative candidates instead of Liberal bets in an election.

Only 32 percent picked the Liberal Party, 20 percent opted for the New Democratic Party and 7 percent selected the Green Party.

The survey firm found in September that 75 percent of Ontarians said they wanted to vote out of office the current Liberal government headed by Premier Dalton McGuinty. In the summer of 2009, the Liberals were ahead of the Conservatives by 14 points; now the tide has reversed and the Tories outpace the Liberals by 9 points.

The growing disenchantment with McGuinty’s government comes from an economic slowdown that has caused Ontario to grapple with a record budget deficit and projected higher electricity costs in the next five years.
