SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

The national poll of 1,000 voters was done Sunday and Monday for the Globe and Mail and CTV News by The Strategic Counsel. It indicated 52 percent of respondents said they were concerned Prime Minister Stephen Harper's Conservatives might have enough support Oct. 14 to form a majority government.

Regardless, 81 percent of those asked said they wouldn't change their original party choice before the vote. Peter Donolo, a partner with the polling company, said that indicates opposition parties aren't connecting with voters.

"It speaks to the lack of inspiration they feel about their other choices", he told the Globe.

If the vote were now, 39 percent of those asked said they would vote Conservative, 3 percentage points higher than the 2006 election. Then Liberals previously had 30-percent support but now 24 percent, the poll indicated. The socialist New Democratic Party had 19-percent support. In Quebec, the separatist federal Bloc Quebecois party had 45-percent support, far ahead of the Conservatives' 24 percent, the poll indicated.

The poll had a margin of error of 3 percentage points, the report said.
