A new opinion poll shows support for the Bloc Québécois has bottomed out, leaving it at risk of disappearing.

The newspaper published the results on Saturday, saying they represent a historic low for the party.

The Léger poll also shows the Liberals and the Conservatives in a tie across the country, with 38 per cent voter intention apiece. The New Democratic Party obtained 14 per cent support among the 1,536 Canadians who were polled.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s controversial trip to India explains the Liberals’ drop in support, the Journal de Montréal reported. Sixty-six per cent of Canadians view the trip as a failure, it says of the poll results.
