Three-way fight in Quebec
In Quebec, the Bloc Québécois remains in the lead with 32% of voting intentions. However, the Conservative Party (28%) and the Liberal Party (25%) are not far behind.
The NDP, for its part, is lagging behind with only 9% support among Quebecers.
Strong advance in Ontario and the Maritimes
