(EKOS) The federal Conservatives continue to increase their lead over the Liberals, a new poll of federal voting intentions suggests.
The EKOS poll, released Thursday exclusively to the CBC, found that 40.7 per cent of respondents supported the Conservatives, while the Liberals had 25.5 per cent backing. The New Democratic Party had the support of 14.3 per cent of respondents, with the Green Party at 10.5 and the Bloc Québécois at 9.1 per cent.
The week before, Conservative support was at 39.7 per cent, Liberals at 25.7 per cent, NDP at 15.2 per cent, while the Green Party and Bloc were at 9.7 per cent.
The latest poll was conducted by phone between Oct. 7 and Oct. 13. EKOS asked 2,729 respondents how they would vote if an election were held tomorrow. The results have an error margin of plus or minus 1.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
