Liberals drop three points, fall to near tie with Conservatives in public support, Signal analysis says
OTTAWA — The gulf in public support between the Liberals and Conservatives has narrowed considerably, putting Justin Trudeau’s gamble to regain a majority government in jeopardy, a new analysis of publicly available polling by Vox Pop Labs suggests.
The Liberals currently sit at 33.4 per cent support, while the Conservatives would garner 32.1 per cent of the vote if an election was held today, according to aggregate analysis by The Signal, Vox Pop Labs’ election forecast conducted for the Star.
The New Democrats command 20.1 per cent of voter support, with the Green party registering 5.8 per cent.
NDP and Conservatives better positioned to respond to Canadians’ top election concerns, poll suggests
… Maru had asked 1,511 respondents to “select the two issues or needs that they want to be addressed by the politicians and are currently shaping their ballot box choice.” The sample of online panelists was surveyed from Aug. 13 to 15.
The priorities the respondents chose could favour the NDP and the Conservatives, as opposed to the Liberals, according to the company.
So far it’s looking Lib minority gov.
