In Quebec too, where Tory popularity has been slumping badly, today’s standing shows an upward turn for them and a corresponding drop for the Lib- erals.

While the Conservative show-} ing in the West remains today at the same point it showed in the poll's May report, Ontario has continued to slip downward. The latest figure for the party is at less than the half-way point, with a standing of 48 per cent compared to 41 per cent for the Liberals.
