Canada election: Liberals, Conservatives in tight race as voters head to the polls

Canadians from coast to coast are heading to the polls on Monday to choose their next federal government in the climax of the 44th general election.

An Ipsos poll of 2,359 Canadians conducted exclusively for Global News on the eve of the election found that Liberals and Conservatives remain locked in a dead heat, with the latter inching ahead by just one per cent in the national popular vote.

The poll showed Conservatives on track to garner 32 per cent of the popular vote, while Liberals went down a point— projected to receive 31 per cent of the vote. Meanwhile, the NDP received 21 per cent in the survey, while the Bloc Quebecois secured seven per cent and the Green Party earned three per cent.

About 6.8 million Canadians have already voted, the majority of them doing so through advanced polling Sept. 10 to 13, and the rest through special balloting either by mail or in-person at Elections Canada offices. About 30 million eligible voters are able to cast their ballots Monday.

Ipsos CEO Darrell Bricker joins Global News Morning’s Antony Robart to take a closer look at the polling numbers.
