This CTV report caught my attention.
The latest nightly tracking conducted by Nanos Research for CTV News and The Globe and Mail shows the Liberals have hit an election-high level of support among voters, largely at the expense of the NDP.
The nightly tracking is based on a rolling average of 1,200 voters polled on Oct 11, 13, and 14, 2015. The numbers released Oct. 15 show:
• the Liberals at 37.1 per cent support
• the Conservatives at 29.4 per cent support
• the NDP at 23.7 per cent support
• the Green Party at 4.3 per cent support
• the Bloc Quebecois at 5 per cent support
One month ago, it was practically a three-way tie between the major parties in the federal election. In the past 30 days the Liberals have gained about seven points of support -- from 29.6 per cent to 37.1 per cent.
Most of that gain has come at the expense of the NDP, which has since its support drop about six points, from 30.4 per cent to 23.7 per cent.
The Conservatives, meanwhile have remained relatively unchanged, with their support dropping slightly from 31.0 per cent to 29.4 per cent when the margin of error for the research is factored in.
