Hmmm . . . most interesting from this poll is that Trudeau and Mulcair are
tied in approval rating at 42%, while Harper is trailing at 34%.

Federal Liberals hold onto slight lead, poll shows
A new Forum research poll has the federal Liberals maintaining a slight lead
over the Conservatives in public support.
The federal Liberals continue to maintain a slight lead in public support,
according to a new Forum Research poll.
With an election to be held in or before October, the Liberals have the support
of 37 per cent of Canadian voters, with the Tories holding onto 33 per cent,
the survey, found.
The New Democrats are at 20 per cent support.
The Liberals saw a slight drop in fortunes, down from last month’s total of 41
per cent support, while the Conservatives remained steady at 33 per cent.
The NDP jumped slightly from 17 per cent in December.
“While the Liberals still lead, it’s a more modest kind of parity than we’ve
seen recently,’’ Forum Research president Lorne Bozinoff said in a statement.
He said the 30 new seats being added to the House of Commons for the next
election favour the Conservatives, who, according to Bozinoff “stand to win a
small minority despite trailing slightly in the popular vote,’’ based on the
latest poll results.
In the last half year the Conservatives have eaten into the previously large
lead the Liberals enjoyed since choosing Justin Trudeau as their leader in 2013.
The two parties have been virtually neck and neck since this past fall.
The official Opposition New Democrats, however, have seen no more than 23 per
cent support from respondents since last May.
When it comes to public support for the party leaders themselves, both Prime
Minister Stephen Harper and NDP Leader Tom Mulcair’s approval levels have
stayed the same as they were the end of last year — 34 per cent and 42 per
cent, respectively.
But Justin Trudeau’s approval level dropped from 46 per cent in December to 42
per cent currently, according to the Forum poll conducted Monday and Tuesday.
The interactive telephone voice response survey of 1,741 Canadians aged 18 and
over is considered accurate plus or minus 2 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
