The latest Corporate Research Associates poll suggests more than half of all Nova Scotian voters are undecided months before an anticipated election.

Of the more than 1,300 people asked which party they would vote for if an election were held today, 55 percent either had no opinion or were undecided.

Among those who did have a preference, 45 per cent chose the Nova Scotia Liberal Party.

The NDP and the Progressive Conservative were tied at 26 per cent support, each.

In a news release, Corporate Research Associates said the undecided number is unusually high for this point in the election cycle.

More than 1,300 Nova Scotians were surveyed by telephone May 8 to May 30. Corporate Research Associates, or CRA, says the poll on voter intentions is considered accurate within 2.7 percentage points 19 times out of 20.

CRA also questioned people about their opinions of party leaders. Twenty-three per cent of people surveyed had no opinion on the leaders.

Liberal Leader Stephen McNeil was the favourite among voters with a preference, with 31 per cent support. Premier Darrell Dexter and Progressive Conservative leader Jamie Baillie each garnered 18 per cent support.

About 800 people were polled on the question of party leadership. That result is considered accurate plus or minus 3.5 per cent 19 times out of 20.
