OTTAWA - The opposition Liberal Party has regained its slender lead in public support, thanks largely to a sharp dip in backing for the ruling Conservatives, according to a poll released Thursday.
A weekly Ekos survey for the Canadian Broadcasting Corp put the Liberals at 32.2 per cent, down from 32.6 per cent last week. The Conservatives dropped to 31.0 per cent from 34.8 per cent while the left-leaning New Democratic Party was at 16.2 per cent, up from 14.3 per cent.
Ekos said the Conservatives had lost the short-term advantage they gained the previous week after the Liberals effectively backed down from a threat to bring down the government over the way it was tackling the economic crisis.

You missed the most interesting part of this poll. That is that the Green Party is steadily increasing now sitting at 11.5 nationally and over 15 in BC.
Further the Greens are just 0.2% less than the Liberals in the under 25 group. Green are growing steadily and the old parties are losing.
Yes, yes, Elizabeth. We hear you.
..and just like that, every election..poof!..not enough support for greens to get even one of them elected.Will they still let Dizzy Lizzy into the big boys debate after another by-election loss?
