| Description | After five weeks of Canada's political parties waging a rancorous battle across the country, a final poll ahead of Tuesday's election suggests Stephen Harper's Conservatives appear headed for another minority government.
The latest Canadian Press/Harris-Decima rolling survey, conducted in partnership with the CBC throughout the five weeks of the election campaign, puts support for the Conservatives at 34 per cent, followed by Stéphane Dion's Liberals at 25 per cent.
The NDP stood at 19 per cent, the Bloc Québécois at 11, and the Greens at nine, according to the survey.
The Conservatives began the campaign in majority territory leading the Liberals by as much as 17 points. That advantage has shrunk steadily in subsequent weeks, including a late drop that coincided with a plunge in the world's financial markets sparked by the U.S. credit crisis.
The release of the results comes as the party leaders scrambled to cover as much campaign territory as possible on Monday in their final appeals to voters. Election law prohibits campaigning and the release of polling information on election day. |
