Nanos Tracker: Liberal Lead Narrows

Don’t call it a trend just yet, but last week’s fielding was a rougher one for the Liberals and for Mark Carney.

As much as we expect normal fluctuations in a 250-cases-per-week tracker, this morning’s Nanos Research update swung back hard against the Liberals. Call it regression to the mean or a sudden slip tied to recent events (such as the Canada–Alberta MOU), but the LPC shed three points in a single week, while the NDP bounced back into double-digit support — albeit barely.

Nationally, Nanos now puts the Liberals at 39%, one point ahead of the Conservatives at 38%. The NDP sits at 10%, and the Bloc at 6%.
