Tories maintain slight lead over Liberals in new poll, but with smaller gapOTTAWA — A new poll suggests Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals have regained some popular support after the Conservatives enjoyed a surge when Pierre Poilievre became leader last month. The data released Wednesday by Leger is based on an online survey it did between Oct. 7 and 10 with 1,534 Canadians. That's compared to 31 per cent who picked the Liberals and 21 per cent who opted for the New Democrats. While the Tories are in the lead, the data shows they lost one percentage point of support among decided voters since the same question was asked last month, while the Liberals gained three points. The gap is wider in Quebec, where 29 per cent of respondents picked the Liberals, over the 22 per cent who chose the Tories.
