The Liberals would come in a distant second place with the popular vote if an election was called today, with a slight lead over the NDP, according to a poll conducted by Nanos Research. “The federal Conservatives remain in the driver's seat with a clear advantage over the Liberals who are now within the margin of error with the NDP in ballot support,” said Nanos Research Chief Data Scientist Nik Nanos in a Tuesday poll. “Also of note, Conservative Poilievre has hit a high not seen by any Conservative leader in the past decade on the preferred PM tracking.” Nanos Research found the Liberals would finish in second place at 23.4%. With the NDP, it said it would come in a close third (22.1%). The Conservatives would come in first place (40.8%). The Bloc Quebecois was at 6.6%, the Greens were at 4.7%, and the People’s Party of Canada was at 1.4%. When it comes to ballot and leadership impressions, Nanos said the Conservatives were the most favourable (54.8%). In this scenario, it said the NDP would come in second place (45.2%). After the NDP was the Liberals (41.5%). This was followed by the Bloc Quebecois (37.3%), the Greens (30.9%), and the PPC (25.1%). Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre was the first preferred choice for prime minister (36.3%). Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was a distant second place (18.6%). After Trudeau was NDP leader Jagmeet Singh (16.9%). This was followed by Green leader Elizabeth May (3.7%) and PPC leader Maxime Bernier (1.6%). This incident comes after Trudeau stood up Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on Wednesday.
