Conservatives gain ground in new poll, but Canadian politics is in a ‘holding pattern’

OTTAWA — A Postmedia-Leger poll published this week shows the Conservatives narrowing the gap slightly with the Liberals, but satisfaction with Prime Minister Mark Carney’s performance remains high among Canadians overall.

Forty-eight per cent of Canadians said they support the Liberals, compared with 37 per cent for the Conservatives, when asked which political party they would vote for if a federal election were held today. That amounts to an increase of three percentage points for the Conservatives compared with a similar poll conducted eight weeks ago.
