Polls show Tories have lost their lead
Two new polls show the federal Conservative party has lost its lead in public opinion across Canada in the past week.
And a third poll, taken just in Quebec, indicates support for separatism may not be as high as another survey showed earlier this week.
The two national polls, by GPC Research and Strategic Counsel, each have a margin of error that puts the Liberals and Conservatives in a statistical tie.
But they are a substantial turnaround from other recent polls, which have shown the Conservatives ahead of the Liberals by as much as seven percentage points.
