Support slipped for the Federal Liberals and surged for the Conservatives this month as new poll data shows Justin Trudeau’s party would win a minority government if an election were held today.

Thirty-eight per cent of Canadians polled said they would vote Liberal, a dip from last month’s all-time high of 44%, according to a Forum Poll for the National Post.

Support for the Conservative party grew three percentage points compared to last month, with 30% of those polled saying they’d cast a vote for Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Tories.

“It appears a bit of the shine has come off the Trudeau Express since last month,” said Lorne Bozinoff, Forum Research president.

“Whether it’s a temporary blip or the new normal remains to be seen.”

Support for the NDP remained stable at 20% while 6% said they would vote for the Bloc Quebecois and 4% for the Green Party.

The new slump in electoral support for the Liberals means they’d win a minority government of 150 seats, compared to last month’s majority government of 192 seats.
