LATEST LEGER POLL
The federal Liberals are pushing further ahead of the Conservatives in voter support, and almost one in two Canadians surveyed said they think the Liberals will win the election, a new poll suggests.
The survey, conducted by Leger for The Canadian Press, reports that 44 per cent of decided voters surveyed would vote Liberal in the upcoming election, ahead of the Conservatives at 38 per cent.
The poll surveyed 1,599 Canadians between March 21 and March 23, which includes the first day of the election, and the two days leading into it.
Because the poll was conducted online, it can’t be assigned a margin of error.
A Leger poll released one week earlier, showed the Liberals with 42 per cent support compared with 39 per cent for the Conservatives. It was the first time since early 2023 the Liberals took the lead.

The current poll had the NDP at only six per cent, down three points from the last survey.
