At least that’s what a survey by the firm Abacus data published on Sunday reveals.
Pierre Poilievre’s party is still unsurprisingly in the lead, but loses three percent of voting intentions compared to the survey carried out last month by the same firm.
However, he remains very far ahead of the Liberals, who are in second place at 22%, two percentage points ahead of the New Democrats.
This is not the first time that the NDP has trailed the Liberals in a poll.
Another survey from Abacus data even gave the NDP a slight lead over the PLC in September, but Justin Trudeau’s party then regained second place in the weeks that followed.
Jagmeet Singh’s party, however, is ahead or tied with the Liberals in all age groups except those 60 and over.
In Quebec, the Bloc Québécois is still in the lead with 36% of voting intentions, ahead of the Liberals at 24% and the Conservatives at 22%.
The Abacus data survey was conducted among 1,915 people across the country between October 31 and November 5.
It has a margin of error of 2.3% 19 times out of 20.
