On Monday, we introduced a poll showing that Jody Wilson-Raybould was currently aggressive as an Independent candidate in the district of Vancouver Granville. Today, we have a look at fellow Independent Jane Philpott’s district of Markham-Stouffville, a suburb of Toronto situated in the vital GTA region of Ontario.
In 2015, Philpott won the recently established district of Markham-Stouffville by six points over her Conservative opponent at a definite two-way race between the Liberals and Conservatives (the Greens and NDP won a combined eight percent of the vote). It would therefore be natural to put in the hypothesis that, with Philpott running as an Independent next collapse, a split Liberal-Philpott vote could open up the chance for a rather easy Conservative win.
However a new exclusive survey commissioned by 338Canada and conducted by Mainstreet Research. Com indicates the race in Markham-Stouffville could be much closer than first thought. Additionally, it shows Philpott facing long odds to win re-election, sitting well back of their front-running Liberals and second-place Conservatives.
The poll collected intentions of 601 voters in Markham-Stouffville and was conducted between May 29 and May 30. This really is a sample with a margin of error of ??4 percent, 19 times out of 20. The complete report of the poll is available here.

Liberal, headed by Justin Trudeau Conservative, led by Andrew Scheer NDP, headed by Jagmeet Singh Green Independent candidate Jane Philpott
