   place. Few will vote Green (4%), Bloc Quebecois (5%) or for any other party   
   (1%).

   Federal Conservatives rebound Tied with NDP, but headed for a minority   
      
   Equal proportions, a third each, will vote for the federal Conservatives or   
   the NDP if the election were held today (33% each).  One quarter will vote   
   Liberal (25%).  Few will vote Bloc Quebecois or Green (4% each) or for any   
   other party (1%).

   The New Democrats have surged to a double-digit lead in public support,   
   gaining more distance over the other federal parties than they have at any   
   time in the past two years, according to a new Forum Research poll.   
      
   About four in 10 Canadians surveyed (39 per cent) said they would cast their   
   ballot for the NDP if an election were held today.   
      
   The Conservatives fell from neck-and-neck status with the NDP last week to 28   
   per cent of voter support Sunday, while the Liberals were steady at 25 per   
   cent.   
      
   Projected onto an enlarged 338-seat House of Commons, the survey results   
   indicate the NDP would command a solid minority of 160 seats —   
   10 short of a majority.     ヽ(^。^)ノ     
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^     
      
   The poll, conducted hours after Prime Minister Stephen Harper kicked off a   
   marathon campaign Sunday for the Oct. 19 election, reveals the NDP, under   
   Thomas Mulcair’s leadership, has turned its flagging fortunes around.   
      
   Last December, even though it was the official Opposition, it was a distant   
   third, according to Forum data, trailing with 17-per-cent support.   The   
   Liberals, under Justin Trudeau, were dominant at that point, with 41 per cent.   
      
   The Liberals have since gone from a comfortable lead to a three-way tie for   
   third place in the course of a year, poll results show.   
      
   “I … haven’t found a single instance of the NDP having a double-digit   
   lead before today,” Lorne Bozinoff, president of Forum Research, told the   
   Star.   
      
   “Now the government has released the hounds, as it were, people … are   
   coming off the fence and ending up with the NDP for now,” he added in a   
   statement.
