Both Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Ontario Liberals are falling in the polls.

Not only is Wynne’s personal popularity continuing to tumble – for the first time in a long while, the Liberals aren’t the first or even the second choice for voters in the province.

“There is very little good news for the current government and it may get worse as the effects of the recent charges against Ontario Liberal Party staff and operatives continue to dominate headlines,” Quito Maggi, president of polling company Mainstreet Research said Monday.

If an election were held today, the Liberals would come in third, behind the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP. That’s according to a Mainstreet/Postmedia poll released on Monday.

When it came to Wynne, 67 per cent of those asked disapprove of the job she is doing as premier, and 58 per cent of those asked want her to step down.

Andrea Horwath continues to be the most popular party leader, with Patrick Brown in second.

“If there is a silver lining in these numbers for the Liberals, it would be that they continue to lead in the 416 with 35 per cent to the PCs 31 per cent and NDP’s 27 per cent among decided and leaning voters,” Maggi said.

“The rest of the numbers point to a possible wipe-out in the 905, South Central and Southwest with divided fortunes in Eastern and Northern Ontario.”

Votes in two Ontario ridings will go to the polls this month. Two provincial byelections have been called for Nov. 17 to fill vacant seats in the Ottawa-Vanier and Niagara-West Glanbrook ridings.

Wynne called the Ottawa-Vanier byelection to replace former attorney general Madeleine Meilleur, who quit the long-held Liberal seat last summer.

The Niagara-West Glanbrook seat was vacated by former Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak, who resigned last month.
