Ekos, which has always given the Conservatives the lowest numbers of all the regular polling firms, reports that the Tories have increased their lead from 5 points to 7.5 pre- and post-debate:

They note that the gains are primarily in BC, and that Ontario remains a dead heat in their view. I'm not sure how much I trust Ekos' numbers, given they consistently poll the Greens at twice the support anyone else does, and somehow 2.1% of decided voters intend to vote for one of the little parties.
