Elections are not just based on transit maps. There are many issues people are thinking about. I hate to admit but in the last mayoral election I voted for tory even though I liked another candidate simply because I thought that tory had a better chance to beat ford. Similarly if I was American I would have voted for hillary even though I liked Bernie because I don't like splitting votes. The other thing people here areare assuming is that people voted for ford solely because of his subways subways subways I sort of remember ford's campaign being more about cut the gravy. He convinced people there was so much waste because of years of miller that he could find efficiencies. Even if one liked his subways subways subways he presented it as a possibility with little to no additional funds. Now we know he coulding find efficiencies nor could he build a subway for nothing. This issue is dead so I don't know how you expect someone to find a more recent poll. But my experience from those wanting proof is that when they see contradictory polls then what they like they attack the source for bias, the amount of people in the poll, or in this case the year. Doesn't mean it isn't proof.
That's your proof? A push poll taken from three years ago? Remember folks, this predates a lot of things. Like the Trudeau inauguration and his promise of untold billions of dollars earmarked for Toronto transit. Also predates the wild factor that is Patrick Brown's probable government-in-waiting and how he may re-prioritize things more in the suburbs', Scarborough's in particular, favour. And even in spite of this poll, Scarborough still wind up overwhelmingly voting for the pro-subway candidate in the municipal election that year:
