A new poll from Mainstreet Reseach puts Liberal challenger Chris Ballard within three percentage points of the PC incumbent, Dawn Gallagher Murphy.

It puts Gallagher Murphy on 43.1%; Chris Ballard on 40.3%; Denis Heng on 9.9% and the Greens on 6.7%

Ballard, a former Cabinet Minister, represented Newmarket-Aurora between 2014-2018.

Mainstreet Research is rated A-

Polling organisations are given ratings according to the accuracy of their projections.

If this poll truly reflects opinion on the ground and it is not a rogue then it changes everything.

If I were Chris Ballard I'd challenge Gallagher Murphy to a public debate and invite local news organisations to set it up - and dare her to say she has a "scheduling conflict". 

She can run but she can't hide.
