New poll paints bleak picture for Miller
Allison Hanes, National Post
Mayor David Miller's popularity nosedived in the wake of Toronto's 39-day strike this summer and an overwhelming majority of city residents would vote to replace him in the next election, a new poll for Global TV reveals.
With just over a year to go before Torontonians next go to the ballot box, 79% told Ipsos Reid "it's time someone else was chosen as Mayor to lead the city," while 21% said they would vote to re-elect Mr. Miller for a third term.
The results emerged on the same day Ontario Deputy Premier George Smitherman mused aloud about running for Mayor.
Pollster John Wright at Ipsos Reid, said he's never seen a precipitous decline like Mr. Miller's popularity rating, plummeting from 69% to 43% to 39% to the low 20s in recent years..
"I have been doing this for 20 years in the city," Mr. Wright told Global. "I have never seen numbers like this. Ever."
