Bringing back this post, as we've had 3 Nanos polls since this 12 point one was quoted, where Nanos utilizes a rolling poll method which tends to cause wider week to week fluctuations.
Needless to say, not only was it an outlier, several polls post-budget now have the Conservatives in their biggest lead ever since their 2003 foundation (have to go back to Mulroney's 1984 numbers for a larger lead), including Nanos which has them at over 20 points in their newest one.

Singh's ho hum strategy and propping up the Liberals on poor policies have significantly impacted their polling numbers. It appears likely that 2015 will be his last year as both leader and MP. NDP not capitalizing on the Liberal fall from grace will be discussed for years as a missed opportunity for a party that has lost its identity.
I find it peculiar that only one poll out of dozens in recent months that showed a decline in CPC support was the only posted.
It was only 2-3 years ago that some posters were boasting that the CPC needed to change its core values to ever be electable in Canada. Well they did change, only further to the right. And now here we are, landslide territory and continued increasing support, despite Poilievre and despite moving further to the right. That's just how bad the sentiment against the Liberal-NDP coalition has become. It's not so much the expectation that the CPC will fix everything, or anything for that matter, but anything is better than the current situation. This has never been a vote for the CPC, but a vote against the Liberal-NDP coalition, that was enabled by how disenfranchised Canadians are feeling with detrimental policies.
A reminder as well that the disproportionate fearmongering represented by this forum does not necessarily represent the general population's views.
