The Conservative Party of Canada Leadership Race

The results of a survey conducted by Maru/Blue Public Opinion show that Peter MacKay would be the top choice (55%) to become the new Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada (“CPC”) among those who are committed to vote for the party if a federal election were held tomorrow— not those who are actual members of the party and official delegate voters—followed by rival candidates Erin O’Toole (23%), Leslyn Lewis (11%), and Derek Sloan (11%).

Similar results were found in a separate poll of the Canadian public wherein Peter Mackay (51%) received the nod for leader compared to fellow candidates Erin O’Toole (25%), Leslyn Lewis (16%) and Derek Sloan (8%).

The poll of the committed CPC voters for the next federal election who indicated they have enough knowledge about a candidate to have an informed opinion also yielded some dynamic tallies for two other leadership hopefuls.
