Conservatives take a beating in a new poll

Submitted by andre on Thu, 2005-06-09 07:07.Politics

A recent poll shows that support for the Conservative Party of Canada is slipping. And this double digit drop doesn't look like a blip.

It was only a month ago that the Conservatives were confident enough in their polling to try and topple the government with the aid of the seperatist Bloq. Their message, "Canadians are ready for a change."

Well, maybe not so much. But, if they are looking for a change, it doesn't appear they are looking towards the far right of center.

National support for the Conservatives now sits at 23%, just 2 points ahead of the NDP.

They say that things change quickly in politics. Much can happen in a couple of days and a month is a life-time. These numbers seem to support that idea.
