Liberals widen lead over Tories under Carney, Ipsos poll shows – National [Video]

Prime Minister Mark Carney appears to have breathed new life into the Liberal party as new Ipsos polling shows the party widening its lead over the Conservatives even further since Carney’s arrival.

The poll, published Tuesday by Ipsos Public Affairs exclusively for Global News, found that if a federal election were held tomorrow, the Liberals would secure 42 per cent of decided voter support, compared with 36 per cent for the Conservatives — widening their lead over the Tories by seven points in just three weeks.

Polling from Ipsos last month found the Liberals topping the Conservatives for the first time in years, though the number was within the poll’s margin of error.

Tuesday’s seven-point Liberal lead is beyond the 3.8 per cent margin of error.

Since 2021, Ipsos polling has shown the Conservatives consistently leading in the polls, outpacing the Liberals. But in February, that shifted, with the Liberals finally edging out the Conservatives by a slight lead.
