The latest poll, by Corporate Research Associates, has shown that the Progressive Conservatives have taken the lead from Shawn Graham’s Liberals:
The poll of 1,065 people conducted between Aug. 26 and Sept. 1 showed the Conservatives with 42 per cent support among decided voters, up from 36 per cent from the Halifax-based polling firm’s last voter survey in mid-August. Support for the Liberals remained unchanged at 41 per cent, while support for the NDP dropped to 10 per cent from 16 per cent.
The results are a significant achievement for the Conservatives, said University of New Brunswick political scientist Don Desserud. The NDP, Greens and People’s Alliance had positioned themselves to capture the support of left-leaning electorate upset with the Liberal government, but not ready to vote Conservative.
“If that’s not happening, that’s very positive news for the Conservatives. If they can keep that up, that’s a recipe for success.”
