Latest polls suggest good news-bad news for PCs   
      
   The Ontario Progressive Conservatives can take solace in the latest polling   
   results, which show that their 40 per cent support level has remained   
   consistent over the past few weeks.   
      
   If the election were held today, the PCs would likely cruise to a majority   
   government victory.   
      
   But the election won’t be held today and there’s an interesting twist to   
   the polling numbers that could come into play.   
      
   Pollsters tell us that the Conservative support is solid, but there is little   
   chance for any growth.   
      
   On the other hand, the remaining 60 per cent or so of the voters are split   
   between the Liberals and NDP, but we’re told that much of that is what is   
   called “soft support,” meaning they could change their vote to whichever   
   party they think might    
   defeat Doug Ford and the PCs.   
      
   We saw this happen in the last couple of provincial elections, where there was   
   a late surge toward Kathleen Wynn‘s Liberals, which carried them to victory   
   in both cases.   
      
   Since there are so many similarities between the Liberal and NDP platforms,   
   voters may gravitate to whichever party they think could defeat the PCs and   
   provide the social services they want like pharma care, dental plans and   
   daycare.   
      
   Such a voting shift would be unusual, but, in this election year, the unusual   
   might just be the usual.
