ABOVE THE FOLD

For all the talk — and polling — suggesting DOUG FORD’s PCs are slipping in public opinion, the PCs pollster-in-chief is clapping back.

NICK KOUVALIS wrote on social media that he sees “no change” in the party’s numbers over the last six months.

“The Ontario Liberals have gone down (not up) since their high-water mark in the last provincial election — as they’ve had no leader, no strategy or comms plan when it comes to policy and add in all the internal turmoil since.”

That’s good news for New Democrats in particular, who Kouvalis says “have been the net beneficiary of that lack of liberal leadership.”

Still: MARIT “STILES hasn’t done a great job (she hasn’t been bad either) as much as the Ontario Liberals have been AWOL.”
