OTTAWA — A new poll suggests that if Mark Carney wins the Liberal leadership race, he would erase the massive lead the Conservatives have enjoyed for the past year and a half.

A Leger survey suggests a Carney-led party would boost Liberal support by six points to 37 per cent, putting them in a dead heat with the Tories.

“He’s the new flavour on the menu and he definitely seems to be capturing not just Canadians’ attentions but also Liberal attention,” said Leger pollster Andrew Enns.

Liberals are currently at 31% support, Conservatives are still in majority territory at 40% and New Democrats are far behind at 14%{ai:summary}<p>A recent Leger poll indicates that Mark Carney could significantly shift the political landscape if he becomes the Liberal leader, potentially closing the gap with the Conservatives.
