Description | This election may very well be a reversal of fortune over 1999 — the Tories are riding a 24-point lead among decided voters over the Liberals according to the latest Telegram-Corporate Research Associates Inc. poll.
And in the span of about a week, Premier Roger Grimes’ popularity tanked 10 points.
Tory Leader Danny Williams is favoured by 51 per cent of the poll respondents, a gain of two points. Only 27 per cent prefer Grimes to be premier.
Harris rising
The last poll results, published Oct. 7, had Grimes at 37 per cent. NDP Leader Jack Harris has gained three points, and is now favoured by nine per cent of voters.
Among the decided, 57 per cent favour the Tories, 33 per cent are voting for the Liberals and six per cent are voting for the New Democratic Party, while one per cent favour other parties, such as the Labrador Party.
