The Conservatives and Liberals remain in a statistical tie in Mainstreet Research’s daily tracking poll results for Wednesday, while the NDP appears to be gaining support, in the wake of this week’s English-language leaders’ debate.

In the latest results, which cover polling conducted between Oct. 6-8, 32 per cent of leaning and decided respondents said they would vote for the Conservatives if a federal election were today, while 31.7 per cent said the same for the Liberals, 14.3 per cent for the NDP, 10.3 per cent for the Greens, 6.1 per cent for the Bloc Québécois and 4.2 per cent for the People’s Party.

Collectively, Mainstreet polled 2,445 people by phone for the three-day poll, which the firm says has a margin of error of plus or minus two percentage points.

Monday night saw the first English-language debate of the campaign to feature all of the major party bosses — Justin Trudeau for the Liberals, Andrew Scheer for the Conservatives, Jagmeet Singh for the NDP, Elizabeth May for the Greens, Yves-Francois Blanchet for the Bloc Québécois and Maxime Bernier for the People’s Party.

Compared to Tuesday’s results, the Liberals, Conservatives and Bloc are down barely, while the NDP and People’s Party saw some uptick in support. The Greens are also up slightly. All the movement, though, remains within the survey’s margin of error.

In Tuesday’s results, the Conservatives had the support of 33.1 per cent of leaning and decided respondents, compared to 32.6 per cent for the Liberals, 13.2 per cent for the NDP, 10.1 per cent for the Greens, 6.5 per cent for the Bloc Québécois and 3.4 per cent for the People’s Party.

As a daily tracking poll, Mainstreet’s numbers are consistently updated to provide a snapshot of voter preferences over the past three days. The question they asked voters relating to party preference is: If an election were held today, which party would you vote for?
