Recent Provincial Political Popularity

A recent survey conducted has the Hudak PC's 9 points up on the McGuinty Liberals.

Between March 8th and March 11th, Nanos Research contacted 504 Ontario residents of legal age, and asked them who they would vote for in the Provincial election.

Tim Hudak gained popularity with issues related to taxes and the economy.

McGuinty and Hudak were tied on trust in terms of managing healthcare and education.

20 to 28 percent of Ontarians were unsure who they trust on any of the main issues.
