"SNIP....... 

The Liberals lead Ontario by four points, and Atlantic Canada and Quebec handily, the poll suggests. In the Prairies, though, the Liberals are being hammered. Things are neck and neck in B.C., with the Liberals and Conservatives at 30 per cent each. 

The Nanos poll asks the question: If a federal election were held today, could you please rank your top two current local voting preferences? 

The result shows 33.1 per cent favouring the Liberals and 34.3 per cent favouring the Conservatives, giving the latter a slight lead. Four weeks ago, pre-brownface, the result was 34 per cent favouring the Liberals and 34.4 per cent favouring the Conservatives. 

It is the NDP, in fact, that has dropped considerably over the same timeframe in the Nanos poll; from 16.4 per cent support down to 12.8.

more of a learning experience. People are concerned with pocketbook issues and climate as the election goes on. It is a shame it did not come out months ago.
