A fresh mayoral election poll reveals a notable slip in support for Brad Bradford following the entry of former federal cabinet minister Chris Alexander into the Toronto mayor’s race, according to recent coverage by the Toronto Star. Meanwhile, Olivia Chow maintains her lead as voters remain sharply divided on the city’s overall direction, based on data highlighted by CityNews Toronto.
