    Tories losing ground in three battleground provinces: poll

    Tories losing ground in three battleground provinces: poll

    OTTAWA — A new poll suggests the Liberals are widening the gap in three key provinces, all expected battlegrounds to form the next federal government.

    A Leger/Postmedia poll, released Wednesday, suggests that nationwide the Liberals sit at 44 per cent and the Conservatives at 38 per cent in support, a gap of six points and consistent with the previous week’s numbers.

    But more in-depth research in Ontario, Quebec and B.C. suggests the Liberals’ lead on the Conservatives is growing in those three provinces.

    In B.C. and Ontario, Mark Carney’s Liberals hold a 10-point lead over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives. That’s despite support for Poilievre’s troops now being higher in both B.C. and Ontario than it was in either the 2019 and 2021 federal elections.

    “Certainly, for the Conservatives, B.C. and Ontario are critical, critical battlegrounds for them, and being 10 points behind the Liberals is not good news,” said Leger executive vice-president Andrew Enns.

    Part of the reason, Enns says, is the Liberals are reaching support levels in all three provinces that are higher than anything seen during Justin Trudeau’s tenure since 2015.

    In B.C., the Liberals are polling at 48 per cent, whereas in Ontario their support is at 49 per cent. The last time the party won a majority government, in 2015, it garnered 35.2 per cent and 44.8 per cent of the vote in those provinces, respectively.

    Three months ago, on the eve of Justin Trudeau’s resignation as party leader, the Liberals trailed the Conservatives by roughly 20 points in Ontario.

    Enns says the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) and B.C.’s lower mainland tend to be must-win areas for the Conservatives to form government. But nearly two weeks into the election campaign, Poilievre’s team trails the Liberals by five and 15 points in those regions, respectively.

    “Those are really crucial areas for Conservatives to make inroads if they’re going to get that majority. And you know, at this stage of the game, I’m sure they’re happy people aren’t voting today,” he noted.

      No the problem is PP is like Trump lite and has run a terrible tone deaf campaign!

      We don't need another career politician who is only good at yapping and snarling and has never had a real job!

        Hmm. That why your political career was failure?

        I hear you left wing pundits make the same remarks all over social media along with a lot of other comments bordering on inciting violence. It’s politics and Polivere is far from vitriolic. Hasn’t called his opponent an SOB yet.

          Never had a political career!

          And its just politics. Even Doug Ford doesn't like PP and won't support him.

          And why would anyone? When PP is not qualified to manage an economy, and can't even run a good campaign?

              I'd like to spend some time on Carney's vision.
