Polling results

OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Conservatives have moved into a small lead in public opinion, a poll released on Thursday showed, as the Liberals mull whether to try to bring down the minority government this autumn.

But the Ekos poll showed the lead to be within its margin of error, with neither major party able to break out and take a clear lead.

Ekos put the Conservatives at 34.1 percent and the Liberals at 32.4 percent, with the left-leaning New Democrats at 15.2 percent and the Bloc Quebecois at 8.7 percent. A week ago, the Liberals led the Conservatives 32.2 percent to 31.8 percent and the two parties have been seesawing back and forth for weeks.
