^ Duh... You're right. So obvious. hehe
Probably increase (or decrease) from their last poll.
They are the changes since the last poll.Ipsos-Reid website shows these numbers in the polls:
Smitherman (31% +8)
Ford (30% +2)
Pantalone (11% +1)
Rossi (4% -3)
What are the + and - numbers?
They are the changes since the last poll.
That being said, the sample size of this poll was small. On top of that the comments by John Wright (of IPSOS) makes me question the neutrality of this one.
That's about it. What a massive letdown!Glad we've been able to whittle it down to two horrible choices before election day.

Now that gutless weasel #2 has left the building, I may just take a deep breath and vote for Pantalone since he has shown enough integrity not to "drop out".......unless of course he turns into gutless weasel #3.
That reputation for customer service has delivered Ford some unlikely allies. Last spring, Peter Genest, owner of Hits and Misses, a punk record shop on the western edge of downtown Toronto, wanted to ask his councillor—Pantalone, as it happens—about a $555 licence he’d been required to buy to deal in second-hand goods.
Genest says Pantalone’s office sat on his query for over a month. When the Toronto Star published a story on Genest’s gripe, the reporter quoted Ford condemning the fee: “If they want to put people out of work it’s a good way of doing it.†Ford followed up with an email and a call to Genest offering further help. Not long ago, Genest took him up on that offer, and says Ford’s office got back to him the next day with a useful contact. “I don’t agree with everything he says,†Genest admits. “But I’ve only lived back in Toronto for 3½ years and his office has helped me out twice.â€
So that would mean that Ford gained 2 % points since the last poll? That doesn't make sense. Probably a typo by IPSOS.
I also question the validity of these numbers considering the clear bias of John Wright who offered this advice to Smitherman on how to win:
"“Smitherman has some momentum . . . and in the last 10 days he needs to give people a clear reason to vote for him, not just against Rob Ford, although that may be enough to win,” Wright said."
That's about it. What a massive letdown!

The Toronto Star comment board is going crazy!!!!
