Environics poll

The Globe and Mail reports today that support for the federal Conservatives has slipped by as much as 10 percentage points since Election Day, placing the governing party in a tie with the opposition NDP. The Environics poll, conducted earlier this month, shows that, while 30 per cent of Canadians would vote for the Tories in the next federal election, an equally large share would support the NDP. The polling firm said the NDP has not come out on top in a survey of federal voting intentions since the 1980s.
