Ryan Ross of The Guardian of Charlottetown reported earlier this week about the stunning breakthroughs made by the NDP on Prince Edward Island. Local politics, it seems, is no longer a genetically transferred trait.

The federal NDP have gained some ground in P.E.I., surpassing the governing Conservatives in the latest poll of voter intentions.

Corporate Research Associates (CRA) released its quarterly poll of Atlantic Canadians and it shows the NDP has the support of 26 per cent of decided voters in P.E.I.

The Liberals dropped 14 percentage points to 45 per cent among decided voters while Conservative support stayed flat at 20 per cent.

Support for the Green Party also went up with an increase from two to nine per cent.
