Silly headline take aside, these are very good numbers for Lewis. He’s consolidated not just the voting membership, a fraction of a fraction of NDP voters, but he’s also consolidating the wider NDP community. If Lewis is dominating not just with new memberships sold but also with long time NDP supporters then there is absolutely no path for McPherson.
No one is surprised he has (relatively) low national name recognition, he’s never held elected office, but that in itself can be remedied before the next general election. Im not all that concerned, he out organized and is now out polling the actual office holder in the race.

I’m left wing on corporations vs labour.
I can’t vote for left wing because instead of supporting labour, grassroots citizens issues, etc.
They end up focussing on feel good identity issues, cause infighting over them… These issues don’t need to be focused on because the nature of labour and grass roots citizens rights, include all rights… LGBTQIA+, Indigenous, Canadian, New Canadian.
So I’ve chosen to ignore them until they show me they are worth paying attention to.
I hope they are competent and elect a competent leader to represent labour properly. Then I’ll start paying attention.

And more than half does which is rather high.
Candidates concentrated on reaching members (8% of the NDP voters) on internal channels (in other words, they spammed them a lot).
When the actual leader gets regular press conferences they will be known.
