Liberal support nosedives in latest poll

Conservatives open up 10 point lead on Grits

The federal Conservatives have opened up a double-digit lead over their Liberal rivals according to a new EKOS opinion poll for the CBC. According to the survey, the Tories would be the first choice of 34.4 per cent of Canadian voters if an election were held today, whereas the Liberals would gather 23.9 per cent of the vote. Support for the Liberals is now at its lowest in a year, just weeks after the party had clawed its way back to within three to four points of the Conservatives. Support for the NDP, the Greens and the Bloc has remained largely stable, at 17.9 per cent, 11.2 per cent, and 10.5 per cent, respectively.
