The Liberal Party holds an 18-point lead over the Conservative Party in voting intention, according to a new EKOS poll released this week.
If a federal election were held today, the Liberals under Prime Minister Mark Carney would receive 45 per cent of the vote, followed by Pierre Poilievre's Conservative Party at 27 per cent. The NDP sits in third place with 17 per cent support.
Support for the Conservatives has fallen 14 points since the last federal election. The NDP has gained 11 points over the same period, reflecting a significant realignment of opposition support away from the Conservatives and toward the left.
This marks a dramatic reversal for the Liberals, who have improved their standing significantly in recent months.
