Haven't seen any reporting on the latest Forum Research polling on hypothetical mayoral elections: http://www.forumresearch.com/forms/...O_Trial_Heats_(2013.10.31)_Forum_Research.pdf
Most of the polling was done on October 31st (the day the police documents came out), but some of the polling was done on October 30th.
The first thing that stuck out at me, they polled Ford vs. Stintz vs. Soknacki twice. On October 30th, Ford was over Stintz 40 to 31. On October 31th, Stintz was over Ford 37 to 33. So much for "Ford's popularity goes up in wake of scandal".
The other takeaway is that support for all the possible candidates is becoming much more equally distributed. Although Chow seems to still be the favourite (she leads or is tied for first in every poll she's in), her lead is much smaller than what we saw several months ago. Ford is tied for first in one poll, and trails in every other poll he's in.
