Former Toronto councillor Doug Ford’s chances winning the city’s next mayoralty race aren’t looking very good, says a new Forum Poll.

Should Ford decide to run in the October 2018 election, incumbent John Tory would capture nearly twice as much support as the brother of former mayor Rob Ford.

Forum’s poll found of those decided and leaning, 66% of respondents supported Tory compared to 34% for Ford.

If you throw Councillor Mike Layton into the mix, Tory still tops the three-way race with 51% compared to Ford’s 30% and Layton’s 18%, according to the poll of 1,040 Toronto voters.

“When factoring out all other potential challengers and pitting Doug Ford head to head against John Tory, it isn’t a contest, with the mayor almost doubling up the support of his presumed main rival,” said Forum president Lorne Bozinoff.

“Even adding another progressive candidate doesn’t shake Tory’s support, and he still wins handily.”

Meanwhile, 54% of voters approve of Tory’s performance as mayor while 27% disapprove with other respondents saying they didn’t know.

The poll — conducted June-20-22 — is considered accurate within 3%, 19 times out of 20.
