The first Toronto mayoral election poll since former MP Chris Alexander entered the race Wednesday shows he has siphoned support from contender Brad Bradford.

A telephone survey conducted by Forum Research on Wednesday showed Alexander debuting with the support of 11 per cent of respondents. Mayor Olivia Chow leads with 47 per cent and Bradford is in second place at 32 per cent — down from 36 per cent in the same poll without Alexander in the mix.
