Carolyn Parrish's lead in Mississauga's mayoral byelection has almost disappeared in the final days before the vote on June 10, according to polling data.
"Polls are important because they don't just reflect the results, they also help to create the results," said Pilon. "Now the second place person can make a strong argument to their supporters, every vote is going to count." Two of the polls published this week — Pollara's and Mainstreet's — indicate close to a third of eligible Mississauga voters haven't yet decided who they will vote for. Liaison's last poll, meanwhile, suggests more voters have made up their minds, saying just 18 per cent indicate they are undecided.For example, a Mainstreet Research poll conducted between April 6 to 8 found 34 per cent of decided voters surveyed said they'd be voting for Parrish.
Parrish's support dipped to 29 per cent among decided voters in a Liaison poll conducted on May 24 an 25, while Damerla's number rose to 24 per cent, Tedjo had 19 per cent and Dasko 12 per cent. A June Pollara poll found Alvin Tedjo had the second highest level of support, just behind Carolyn Parrish. A June Liaison poll has him tied for second place with Dipika Damerla.
