Support for the federal Liberal party has sunk to its lowest level in more than a year with the Conservatives taking a 10-point lead over their political rivals, a new EKOS opinion poll suggests.
The poll, released exclusively to CBC, suggests that 34.4 per cent of respondents would vote for the Tories if an election were held today, compared with 23.9 per cent for the Liberals.
In recent weeks, the Liberals had narrowed the Tory lead to three to four percentage points. But over the past week, the Liberals have taken a nearly seven-point drop in support.
According to the poll, the Conservative Party is leading in every region except for Quebec and in Atlantic Canada, where they are tied with the Liberals, who are losing ground in some key areas and not leading in any region.
Geez, Louise.

Some of the bizarre media coverage claiming a police state existed in Toronto and other wacky far left views have obviously helped Harper. The majority of Canadians, including those in Toronto, supported the police actions. I wish Liberal bloggers, and the media, had continued to focus on the billion dollar boondoggle. That was were Harper was weak. That was were Ignatieff was successfully attacking Harper.
