TIED

Liberals and Conservatives locked in close race according to new Mainstreet Research poll.

The Conservatives and Liberals are locked in a tie.

That’s according to a new Mainstreet Research poll.

Here are the top-line numbers:

Liberals – 34.5%

Conservatives – 34.1%

NDP – 11.1%

Greens – 11.1%

Bloc – 4.4% (18.6% in Quebec)

People’s – 3.3%

The Liberals are down 0.5% since the last Mainstreet poll, while the Liberals are up 0.9%. Both moves are within the margin of error.

Regionally, the Liberals lead the Conservatives in Atlantic Canada (37.1% – 34.7%), in Quebec (33.1% – 22.4%) and Ontario (40.7% – 28.8%).

The Conservatives lead the Liberals in Saskatchewan/Manitoba (49.9% – 18.3%), Alberta (54.7% – 19.6%) and BC (32.0% – 24.8%).

This poll is part of a trend showing a narrowing federal race, with other surveys generally showing either a small Conservative lead, or a tie.
