The Liberals have maintained a razor-thin lead over the Conservatives across the country, while also opening up substantial leads in Ontario and Quebec in a week that threatened to plunge Canada into a summer election, according to a new poll from EKOS released exclusively to CBC News.
Asked which party they would support if a federal election were held tomorrow, 33.7 per cent of respondents opted for Michael Ignatieff's Liberals, while 32.4 per cent chose Stephen Harper's Conservatives, EKOS said.
The Liberal numbers are a drop from the 35 per cent support reported in a similar EKOS poll conducted last week.

I believe you should take Mr.Graves with a grain of salt...a large grain....a true conservative crapper. A very close NDP pollster told me the Liberals are WAY ahead and wondered why Iggy backed down.
Note on the second graph showing June 16 (then they stopped polling)
Libs at 29 Cons 35, Dippers 20

Any hopes of a Liberal surge taking over the country are pretty much shot. Iggy-mania it's not.
Hey so what do you know, our polling data went DOWN after supporting mandatory minimums for drug crimes in BC--just like EVERYONE here predicted. So much for grabbing those supposed "blue collar" dippers...
