Jack Layton's New Democratic Party has surged past Gilles Duceppe's faltering Bloc Quebecois and is now in first place in Quebec, according to an Ekos public opinion poll released exclusively to iPolitics.


The poll, conducted earlier this week, found the New Democrats have jumped 10 percentage points since the eve of the leaders debate to 31.1 per cent while the Bloc has dropped like a rock by 7.4 percentage points to 23.7 per cent.


The Liberals are steady at 20.6 per cent while the Conservatives have dropped slightly to 16.9 per cent.


While the margin of error is higher at the city level, in Montreal the NDP is at 32.9 per cent while the Bloc is at 29.7 per cent.


Nationally, the NDP is now in a statistical tie with the Liberals at 24.9 per cent to 25.8 per cent. Both lag well behind the Conservatives who were preferred by 34.5 per cent of respondents.
