Olivia Chow Leads Brad Bradford in Toronto Mayoral Race

Incumbent Mayor Olivia Chow holds a 51% support lead over challenger Brad Bradford, who currently sits at 46%, according to a Canada Pulse Insights poll released October 23. The race has tightened significantly since September, when Chow maintained a 17-point advantage.

Bradford gained 12 percentage points over the last month by focusing on voter concerns regarding crime, congestion, and affordability. He currently leads among high-income households and voters aged 35 to 54, with strong geographic support in Etobicoke York and North York.

Chow maintains her lead among lower-income and younger voters, with her strongest support concentrated in Toronto and East York and Scarborough. The election is scheduled for Monday, October 26.
