OTTAWA — The Liberals have returned to the position they had held for the past several years as the most popular opposition party, a poll released Monday showed.
The federal election in May had reduced the Liberals to a distant third place behind the governing Conservatives and the New Democratic Party, but the Nanos poll now has them edging out the NDP.
Nanos has the Conservatives at 35.6%, down 2.1 points in the past month and compared with 39.6% in the election. The Liberals have shot up 4.7 points in the past month to 28.1%. They won only 18.9% in the election.
The New Democrats, who want corporate taxes hiked to pay for more social spending, polled at 27.3% of committed voters, down 2.7 points on the month and compared with 30.6% in the last election.

Article attributes much of the change due to the death of Jack Layton.
But good on the Liberals. Hopefully they continue the course and come back to to be the official opposition or even get a majority government. I don't want the NDP anywhere near having as much power again as they do now.
