Liberals remain comfortably in front, but support down over last month

A Gallup survey conducted May 7-12, 1997 found that 46% of Canadian voters support Jean Chretien's Liberal Party, down from 55% the previous month. While support decreased, the Liberal Party still holds a sizeable lead over Jean Charest's Progressive Conservative Party which is supported by 19% of decided voters. Ontario is the more liberal region with 58% favoring Chretien's party over 22% favoring Charest's party.
