338Canada Ontario projection update - May 31, 2020: OLP and OPC all tied

Ontario Premier Doug Ford polled the highest positive swing in approval rating among 9 of Canada's 10 premiers in an Angus Reid Institute survey published last week. From a dismal sarisfaction score of 31 in February, Ford jumped a stunning 38 points to a 69 per cent approval by respondents from Ontario. See the ARI poll report here.  

Abacus Data also published fresh Ontario numbers last week, which had the OLP and OPC in a statistical tie and the ONDP a distant third. See Abacus report here

With such numbers, the OPC wins 4 of 10 general election simulations:
