Stunning numbers.
A new poll shows the Liberals facing a potential wipeout in one of their remaining strongholds.
According to Leger, the Conservatives have 55% support in Atlantic Canada, compared to just 19% for the Liberals.
While the Atlantic subsample is small – 88 people – it indicates a potential further collapse in Liberal support.
As noted by Polling Canada, those numbers would lead to a Liberal wipeout in the region:

It remains to be seen if these results will be replicated in upcoming polls, but it is notable given that Atlantic Canada has been trending away from the Liberals for quite some time in polls conducted by many public opinion firms.
