On Monday, we presented a poll demonstrating that Jody Wilson-Raybould was now competitive as an Independent candidate in the district of Vancouver Granville.

It also reveals Philpott facing long odds to acquire re-election, sitting well back of the front-running Liberals and second-place Conservatives.
The poll gathered voting intentions of 601 voters in Markham-Stouffville and was conducted between May 30 and May 29. This is a sample with a margin of error of ??4 per cent, 19 times out of 20. The complete report of the poll can be obtained here.
