Prime Minister Mark Carney has breathed new life into the Liberal Party, with a new Ipsos survey revealing that the Liberals have steadily increased their lead over the Conservatives since his arrival.

The Ipsos poll indicates that if an election were held tomorrow, the Liberals would secure 42% of voter support, while the Conservatives would receive 36%. Prior to this, the Conservatives had consistently led in Ipsos polling since 2021, but this trend shifted in February of this year.

Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs, noted that it now appears the Liberals’ position is strengthening, bringing them closer to potentially forming a majority government. The survey also highlights that support for the NDP has dropped by three points in the past three weeks, with the party now securing just 10% of voter support. Meanwhile, support for the Bloc Quebecois remains steady at 6%.
