NDP
Conservative Lead Grows
According to Harris/Decima Chairman Allan Gregg “The last two weeks have seen a reversal in fortune for the governing Conservatives. They now lead the Liberals in all regions of the country other than Quebec, and are particularly strong in the key battleground of British Columbia. Despite this newfound strength however, they are still slightly below the support they received in the 2008 federal election, meaning a majority government is likely still out of reach, as of now”
Conservatives Maintain Slight Lead over Liberals
According to Senior Vice-President Jeff Walker “The Conservatives have remained slightly in front for the second week in a row. Ontario remains the most important battleground at this point in time, with the Liberals and Conservatives both neck and neck in popular support”
No Consensus on Potential NDP Name Change
According to Harris Decima Senior Vice-President Jeff Walker "Making changes to a brand name that has broad public recognition poses risks, and the data suggests that there is a fairly high level of uncertainty about this change, including among NDP supporters. However, this change does not appear to drive current voters away, which is a key consideration in such matters, and suggests that there may be potential upside to a change over the longer term"
