It’s too early to call it a coronation, but a new poll shows Judy Wasylycia-Leis is the clear frontrunner in the race for mayor.

A new CJOB/Global poll released Monday shows the former NDP MP and second-place finisher in 2010’s mayoral race would have the support of 42% of decided voters, should she decide to run in this fall’s municipal elections. Wasylycia-Leis is expected to run in the 2014, although she has yet to formally announce her candidacy.

The results are similar to a December Probe poll, which saw Wasylycia-Leis score 45%, and almost identical to the 42.8% of support she received in her failed 2010 mayoral bid.

Former St. Vital city councillor Gord Steeves, the only declared candidate, is a distant second place in Monday’s poll, at 17%.

Mayor Sam Katz, who has been coy about whether he’ll seek re-election, is a distant third, polling at only 12%.

City councillors Paula Havixbeck, Scott Fielding, and John Orlikow — who have all postured as candidates in recent months — all scored at under 10%, as did privacy lawyer Brian Bowman.

The poll, done for CJOB and Global News by Insightrix, also found 59% of respondents believed it was time to elect a mayor who is not currently on city council.

The poll had a margin of error of 4.35%, 19 times out of 20.
