If we assume the polls have been accurate, when the CPC moved into first place the ABC vote switched to Liberal. I don't know if that is soft LPC support and subject to change still. That 36 to 39% for the CPC last time around is probably indicative a couple things.
First - a poll is not a ballot box. Second - some party's/leaders do a good job of getting the vote out and others do not. The CPC generally does a good job of getting the vote out. I think Trudeau will get the vote out, and that coupled with a desire for change (which high advanced poll turnout are probably indicative of) means we are less likely to a discrepancy in actual CPC ballots compared to polling numbers this time.

308 has the LPC projection currently at 136 seats.
