Poll puts May in third place

by Sharon Fraser

At this hour, CTV in the Maritimes is releasing a poll done in Central Nova, showing Elizabeth May — narrrowly — in third place, running behind Peter MacKay (Conservative) and Louise Lorifice (NDP).

The poll shows:

MacKay: 44 %
Lorefice: 25 %
May: 23 % 

The poll also asked self-identified Liberals how they planned to vote:

NDP: 49 %
Con: 25 %
Green: 16 %
None: 8 %
Won’t Vote: 3 %

This afternoon, the CAW endorsed Elizabeth May and are now helping to split the anti-Harper vote — thanks, no doubt, to the misleading national news coverage and the strategic voting sites which keep insisting that this has been a two-way race between May and MacKay.

Is there any chance that the CAW will withdraw the endorsement now that an in-riding poll shows that the NDP remains the best choice for anti-Harper voters in Central Nova?
