Description | The first poll conducted after the creation of the new Conservative party by Ipsos-Reid on behalf of the Globe and Mail/CTV, shows that in the absence of a leader, solid platform, or campaign the new party has held on to most of the committed voters from their predecessor parties. With 21% national support, it would appear the Progressive Conservatives (last week at 14%), and the Canadian Alliance (last week at 10%) have almost managed to equate one and one to two. However, if a federal election were held tomorrow, the Liberal party would still see an outstanding majority with 48% national support, up 5 points since last week. The NDP (14%), the Bloc Quebecois (9%), and the Green Party (4%) all trail. |
