A poll conducted on Monday found that a slight plurality of Torontonians don’t think John Tory should resign as mayor, despite last week’s abrupt announcement that he plans to step down.
This led to speculation that the mayor’s office was responsible for the polling, however a spokesperson has denied any involvement.
“Right now, the mayor is focused on getting the 2023 budget approved so that we are making needed investments in housing, transit and community safety,” they added. The Forum Research poll found that respondents under 25 were most likely to think the mayor should resign, while male respondents were more likely to think so than female respondents .
Respondents were also asked who they would support in a mayoral by-election between a number of potential candidates other than John Tory.
