New poll puts federal NDP ahead of Tories and Liberals — suggesting Alberta election changed everything
Propelled by a recent resounding win in Alberta, the federal NDP has surged into a three-way tie with the Conservatives and Liberals, new numbers suggest.
Preliminary poll results leaked to the Ottawa Citizen show the NDP leading both the Conservatives and Liberals with 29.2 per cent of voter intention.
The poll, conducted from May 6 to 10, appears to be from national polling firm EKOS.
The Conservatives and Liberals trail at 28.6 and 27.6, respectively.
With a margin of error of 2.7 per cent, the poll suggests the upcoming election will be a three-way horse race between Thomas Mulcair’s NDP, Stephen Harper’s Conservatives, and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.
The preliminary results indicate that 1,362 Canadians were surveyed, which is about half the sample size of other recent polls by EKOS. It is unclear whether the numbers obtained by the Ottawa Citizen were the final results of the poll or whether the survey was extended.
