Most Recent Poll Suggests Liberal Support Flagging

OTTAWA, June 15, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An Ipsos-Reid poll released Monday reveals that Liberal support is continuing to flag, while the Conservatives maintain a small one-percent margin. The poll also revealed that 27 percent of voters were likely to change their mind by election day.

The poll suggests the Conservatives could garner as many as 30 more seats in parliament than the Liberals.

Conservative inroads have been most extensive in Ontario, where the Conservatives now lead the Liberals by a margin of 36 to 34 percent.

Ipsos-Reid president Darrell Bricker told the Globe and Mail that voters are simply not buying the Liberal attempt to portray Conservative leader Stephen Harper as a closet radical conservative, especially on issues like abortion.

Ipsos-Reid pollsters asked Canadians the question: "If a federal election were held tomorrow, which of the following parties' candidates would you be most likely to support?" The break-down is as follows: Conservatives at 32%; Liberals at 31%; NDP at 17%; Bloc at 12%; and Green at 6%.
