The honeymoon is definitely over. Now the question is how serious is the drop in support for the Ford government. It’s early in the mandate and you can interpret that as a good or a bad sign. Two polls in recent days show a sharp decline in public support.

Today’s Environics Research Poll finds that 75% of respondents believe Doug Ford’s PC Government is on the wrong track.

Last Friday a Pollara Strategic Insights survey reported 31 per cent of respondents now prefer Andrea Horwath’s New Democrats, compared to 30 per cent for Ford’s Tories.
