OTTAWA - A new poll suggests the Bloc Quebecois is continuing to regain ground that slipped away in mid-campaign, while the Conservative lead over the Liberals has risen to 12 points.
The Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey puts the Tories at 36 per cent, with the Liberals off slightly at 24 per cent.
The NDP is at 17 per cent - off a percentage point - while the Greens are steady at 11 and the Bloc is up a point at 10.
The changes are within the poll's margin of error.
The poll surveyed a total of 1,266 people Sunday through Tuesday and is considered accurate to within 2.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
In Quebec, with a higher margin of error, the Bloc leads with 40 per cent - a gain of three points - with the Tories 27, the Liberals 15, the NDP at 11 and the Greens at five.
