A Strategic Counsel poll conducted for The Globe and Mail and CTV says Conservative support has risen to 41 per cent nationally – a six-point jump from a month ago.
The Liberals, however have seen their country-wide support drop two points to 28 per cent. In the rest of Canada outside Quebec, Michael Ignatieff's Liberals have seen voter backing fall sharply, shedding seven percentage points to 26 per cent.
The biggest problem for Mr. Ignatieff, however, is Ontario. The Tories have pulled far ahead in the vote-rich battleground of Canada's most-populous province, running 16 points ahead of the Liberals, 46 per cent versus 30 per cent in Ontario.
At the national level, the NDP remains steady at 14 per cent. In Quebec, the Bloc Québécois has dropped 9 points at the expense of the Liberals, who have gained 10 points in the French-speaking province to sit at 33 per cent.
This new poll in part reflects a steady decline in support for Mr. Ignatieff outside Quebec since May. The Liberal Party has sunk 12 points over the past four months in Ontario, now standing at 30 per cent. It's also dropped seven points to 18 per cent in western Canada since May.

Forty-one percent? How? None of these polls explain how the CPC are pulling these numbers. What exactly have they done to suddenly garner all this support?
As predicted....
Maybe Canadians are not as stupid as I expected...
Maybe Iggy will put the Canadian electorate on probation...
And these numbers mean what to you Professor Morton? How much longer will you accept Iggy pushing this party to the right where it doesn't have the oxygen it needs to live?
If this guy can't be progressive, why should Canadian voters support the Libs?
If you factor in the poor CPC numbers in Quebec then they have nearly 50%(over 48%} support in ROC!
The West is lost for the Libs.
Telling Canadians that Harper should be feared when their support is 50% higher then the Libs is insulting as well.
Good luck.
