Support for New Democrat Leader Jack Layton has increased, according to the latest Nanos poll for The Globe and Mail.
The NDP party is up to 22.1 per cent support, but that is at the expense of Michael Ignatieff’s Liberal party, which is down to 26.7 per cent.
The poll shows Stephen Harper’s Conservative party holding steady at 39 per cent voter support.
The Liberals are hoping to give their campaign a boost with a 30-minute television special on Citytv on Sunday featuring clips of Ignatieff’s recent speeches urging voters to “rise up” against the Conservatives.
The show will broadcast in Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver.
