The NDP support has surged in the final weeks of the campaign ahead of Monday’s election.

“Now the NDP surge has become more solid, with marked increases in Quebec and Ontario, and a higher level of committed voters who say they will not change their mind before election day,” the poll said. “These gains have come at the expense of the Liberals and the Bloc (Quebecois).



At 30%, the NDP were up five percentage points from Angus Reid’s last national survey in mid-April. The Conservatives were down one point to 35%, while the Liberals had fallen three points.

The Bloc Quebecois had seven per cent support nationally, down two points. They were at 29% in Quebec, second to the NDP’s staggering 38%.

The Green party was pegged at 5% nationally, unchanged from mid-April.
