This october the people of Ontario will head to the ballot box and vote for the person they believe would be the best Premier for them. According to a recent Nano's poll Liberal leader Dalton McGuinty had a slight edge over PC Tim Hudak. Meanwhile NDP leader Andrea Horwath is a distant 3rd. Nevertheless there are still 20% of voters who are still undecided and depending how they vote if they vote will determine the winner. It looks as though it will be a minority government for who ever wins. Even Horwath could come from behind and win. This is an election for Dalton McGuinty to loose. He has been on the offensive attacking Hudak and calling the Ontario PC's "The tea party". On the other hand Hudak claimed that the Premier would give a job to a "foreigner" instead of a Canadian. This type of political mudslinging and hyperbole will definitely turn off voters. Both of these candidates risk looking partisan. Horwath has been staying out of their way answering reporters questions and speaking to constituents and is looking electable. For some reason her polling each time has always come out at a distant 3rd. She can't get any more votes than that and if she wants to win she has to do something or say something to give her a spark or some sort of momentum. If she drags her feet this is going to be one of the many mistakes the NDP do this year. The Liberals have 38.1%, the PC have 34.7%, the NDP have 24.3%. Who ever wins is going to have to deal with a number of things such as health care, education, the tax code and Toronto. Here is the link to the Nanos Poll. http://www.nanosresearch.com/main.asp
