Part 3 of 3: Preliminary Results Show Liberals Ahead

Image
In what was the final poll heading into today's election, The liberals have the lead as narrow as it may be. The survey conducted by Ipsos Reid asked the residents of Ontario the same question they will be asking themselves today. Who will I vote for? If the actual voting ballots reflect this survey then the Liberals will win the election tonight. The full survey shows the following among decided voters; Liberals 33% PC 31% NDP 30% Numbers don't lie and if any story from these numbers holds true, it is that this is going to be a photo finish.

Both Hudak and Horath maintain that the liberals only signed the cancellation of the gas plant in order to save themselves from political disaster in 2011.
