Ontario’s three major political parties look to be locked in a virtual tie for public support, a new poll commissioned by the Star found. Without leaders’ names attached, the Liberals had the support of 36 per cent of respondents, while the Tories 30 per cent, the NDP 21 per cent, and the Greens 10 per cent. In the new poll, however, Ford’s net rating is up to -32 per cent, with 29 per cent approving of his performance and 61 per cent disapproving. “On the re-election question, the Conservatives are polling at 30 per cent, but 36 per cent support them on (increasing average high school) class sizes and 44 per cent support back to work legislation” to end the dispute, he said. He noted that the poll found 45 per cent of respondents support the 1 per cent salary increase for teachers that the government is offering.
