A survey taken earlier this month suggests that the Liberals are drawing significant support from the ideological centre, have eroded the NDP’s base and is even encroaching on traditionally Conservative territory — a trend that could shape the outcome of the 2025 federal election.
The poll conducted by Leger for the Association for Canadian Studies found that the Liberals had secured about two thirds of voters who identify as left or left-of-centre. The NDP had 20 per cent support from those on the left and only eight per cent from those who identify as left of centre. The Liberals were also leading the Conservatives by 10 percentage points among those who place themselves in the ideological centre.
