Léger: Conservatives Tick Up, Liberals Still Well Ahead

CPC climbs three points, Liberal support unchanged, and government approval remains solidly positive.

The always much-anticipated federal poll from Léger dropped Friday morning, and the national landscape remains highly favourable to the incumbent Liberals — even as the Conservatives post a modest uptick.

Nationally, Léger puts the Liberals at 48%, unchanged from its late-March survey. The Conservatives gain three points to reach 37%, while both the Bloc Québécois and the NDP stand at 6%.

In other words: movement at the margin, but no meaningful dent in the Liberal lead.

Regionally, the Liberals continue to dominate in the country’s largest provinces. Léger measures an 11-point Liberal lead in Ontario (51% to 40%) and a 20-point advantage in Quebec (47% to 27% for the Bloc).
