A new poll indicates a tight race for the next Mississauga mayor with three candidates - Carolyn Parrish, Alvin Tedjo, and Bonnie Crombie - leading the field. The poll by Canada Pulse Insights for CityNews found 30% of decided voters would vote for current mayor Parrish, 26% support Tedjo, and 25% prefer Crombie. Damerla, a councillor for Ward 7, has 12% support while 8% would not vote for any of the top candidates.
Among all voters, 24% support Parrish, 20% back Tedjo, and 19% would choose Crombie. Damerla has 9% support. Eighteen percent of Mississauga voters are still undecided. Nearly two-thirds of voters want a change of mayor, but 36% believe Parrish should be re-elected. Among undecided voters, only 30% think Parrish deserves re-election while 70% want a change.
Tedjo, who previously ran for mayor before becoming Ontario Liberal leader, is gaining attention as he attracts undecided voters with a more pragmatic approach. Pollster John Wright suggests Tedjo's messaging could be crucial in the final weeks of the campaign. The debate between the candidates is set for October 1, with the election scheduled for October 26.
