Liberals Are Silent As Obama Shreds The Constitution - Video
WATCH:A new Ipsos Reid poll for Global News shows the Conservatives are virtually neck and neck with the Liberals. Eric Sorensen breaks down the numbers and Tom Clark explains why the numbers could lead to an early election call.
TORONTO Liberals and Conservatives are neck and neck when it comes to federal support heading into the 2015 election year, according to a new Ipsos Reid poll conducted exclusively for Global News.
If the election were tomorrow, the poll suggests Justin Trudeaus Liberal party would receive 34 per cent of the decided vote, with Stephen Harpers Conservatives earning 33 per cent. The one-point lead is a statistical tie, according to Ipsos Reid.
What this poll shows is the Liberals and the Conservatives are really the two main parties Canadians are choosing from; the NDP not so much anymore, said Ipsos Reid spokesperson John Wright.
It may be tight in British Columbia, but the tightest races, in fact, are in Ontario and in the Toronto region.
British Columbia saw a three-way split, according to the poll: Tories at 33 per cent, NDP at 30 per cent, and Liberals at 28 per cent.
In Ontario, Tories and Liberals were tied at 37 per cent each, with the NDP trailing at 22 per cent, according to the survey. Liberals were leading at 46 per cent in the downtown 416 region of Toronto (with NDP at 26 per cent and Conservatives at a distant 25 per cent) but in the 905 region of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) it was Conservatives leading at 41 per cent. The poll had Liberals at 37 per cent in the 905 region, with NDP at 20 per cent.

Nationally, Thomas Mulcairs NDP was found to have a significantly lower 24 per cent of support; Mario Beaulieus Bloc would get five per cent nationallybut 21 per cent in Quebecwith Elizabeth Mays Green Party trailing behind at four per cent.
Each of the leaders has their own patch of geography in this country, and right now you can see the NDP is really not faring as well because the Bloc is eating into their supportand the NDP is not picking up traction in other parts of the country, said Wright.

Liberals and Tories tied in latest poll of federal party support
Stephen Harpers Conservatives have pulled into a neck-and-neck race with Justin Trudeaus Liberals, both nationally and in vote-rich Ontario, according to a newly released poll.
The poll, conducted for Global News by Ipsos Reid with a large sample size, comes 10 months before the next scheduled federal election.
If an election were held tomorrow, the Liberals would get 34 per cent of the vote and the Conservatives 33 per cent, according to the poll. The figures indicate the Liberals have slid four percentage points since September, while the Conservatives have seen a two percentage point gain.
Thomas Mulcairs New Democrats would receive 24 per cent of the vote nationally if a vote were held today, and dont hold the lead in any of the 10 provinces, according to decided voters in the poll. Fifteen per cent of voters remained undecided, according to the poll.
Critically, battleground Ontario remains a close race, the poll showed. The Conservatives and Liberals are tied in Ontario at 37 per cent a dead heat, Ipsos Reid said in a statement ahead of the NDP at 22 per cent. The Liberals were ahead in Toronto, the so-called 416 region, with 46 per cent of the vote, with the NDP at 26 per cent and the Conservatives at 25 per cent.
However, in the 905 region, a collection of suburban communities around Toronto, the Conservatives would get 41 per cent of the vote in an election held today, according to the poll, with the Liberals at 37 per cent and the NDP at 20 per cent.
In Quebec, another vote-rich province, the poll found the Liberals at 32 per cent, followed by the NDP at 29 per cent, the Bloc Quebecois at 21 per cent and the Conservatives at 15 per cent. It was gains in Quebec that helped elevate the NDP to Official Opposition status in the 2011 election.
In British Columbia, a close race is shaping up with all three parties within five percentage points of each other. The poll found the Conservatives at 33 per cent, the NDP at 30 per cent and the Liberals at 28 per cent.
The Liberals held leads across all of Atlantic Canada, though only narrowly in PEI, while the Conservatives held leads across the Prairies, though only narrowly in Saskatchewan, according to the poll.
The Conservatives had a one-point edge over the Liberals among male voters within the margin of error while the Liberals had a four-point lead among women over the Conservatives. The Conservatives lead among voters over 55 years old, while the Liberals and NDP lead Mr. Harpers party among voters aged 18 to 34. The Liberals hold a narrow lead over the 35 to 54 age group, with 35 per cent to the Conservatives 33 per cent.
