Conservatives edge ahead of Liberals in voter support, breaking gridlock: poll
If a federal election were to take place tomorrow, the Liberals would fall behind with 32 per cent of votes, which is one point lower than they got four months ago,Since 2019, the Liberals and the Conservatives have been “locked in a logjam,” but this is the first time that Ipsos polling has shown either side being able to really break out, said Darrell Bricker, global CEO of Ipsos public affairs.
“So I think that less than Poilievre actually attracting a lot of people, it’s really people taking a look because they’re really not satisfied with the current situation with the federal government.”Canada’s two main federal parties held onto their seats in. But as pollsters had predicted, some of the races were tighter than in past elections.
Bricker said it’s difficult for the NDP to stand out from the government at the moment because they are so aligned with the Liberals.
