'Dream scenario' for Poilievre as Conservatives open up 20-point lead with NDP, Liberals tied

The latest Nanos numbers show Pierre Poilievre and the federal Conservative Party have opened up a significant lead, and Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have fallen back into a statistical tie with the NDP.
The latest Nanos Research numbers show Pierre Poilievre and the federal Conservative Party have not only opened up a big lead in ballot support — but Justin Trudeau’s Liberals have fallen into a statistical tie with the NDP.
The latest Nanos ballot tracking puts the Conservative Party at 41.6 per cent, more than 20 points ahead of the Liberal Party, which fell to 21.5 per cent – down four points in four weeks.
The NDP have actually inched ahead of the Liberals at 21.6 per cent.
“This is a dream scenario for Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives,” said Nanos Research founder Nik Nanos on the latest episode of CTV News Trend Line.
“He's got a 20-point advantage and the progressives are perfectly split.”
It’s the first time since September 2015, before Trudeau became prime minister, that the Liberals have had less ballot support than the NDP, though the 0.1 per cent deficit is still within the poll’s margin of error.
