This week’s surprise jump in support for the Liberals – at the expense of the NDP – has largely held for a second night in a row as nightly tracking by Nanos Research for the Globe and Mail and CTV shows little change in the national numbers.

... Support for the Conservatives in Ontario is higher now (47.2 per cent) than it was when Nanos Research polled Canadians on March 15, before the campaign began. At that time, Conservatives had 43.2 per cent support in Ontario.

... In British Columbia, another province with several tight races that could have a major impact on Election Day, Conservatives enjoy a 10 point lead over the Liberals.
