The Conservative Party is holding its lead over the Liberals and remain within distance of a majority government, according to a new poll released Wednesday ahead of the Oct. 14 election.
The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey taken over the last four days indicates the Tories lead with 38 percent of voter support, unchanged from Tuesday's result, followed by the Liberals with 28 percent, up one percentage point.
The poll put the NDP at 15 percent, the Green party at 10 percent and the Bloc at eight percent.
The survey suggests the race continues to narrow in Ontario, with the Conservatives at 39 per cent, the Liberals at 36, the NDP at 14 and the Greens at 10.
A poll done earlier put the Conservatives at 41 percent, above the 40 percent needed to win a majority government.
The poll surveys 300 people a night in a rolling national sampling and the latest figures are based on interviews with 1,366people Sept. 13-16, with a margin of error of 2.6 percentage points, 19 times in 20.
