Unfortunately for the Conservatives, movement in the polls is still going strongly against them. Liberals up five points from the previous Ipsos Reid poll (in April), Conservatives down 2. So it went from a dead-even heat to Liberals up 7 (and looking back over Ipsos' history, it suggests that their spring poll showing the two parties tied was just an outlier). Liberals in the high 30s and Conservatives in the low 30s has been pretty consistent all summer.
Still need Angus Reid to report in (last poll in June had Conservatives up by 1).
