PC Opposition maintains lead ahead of Liberals: CRA poll
A whopping 32 per cent of people surveyed don't know who they would vote for

Corporate Research Associates released results from a poll conducted from May 4 to June 1 on Wednesday.
Tories have 40 per cent of support among decided voters, while the governing Liberals have 34 per cent. That's just a single percentage point change in support for reach party — PCs in February had 39 per cent support, while Liberals had 33 per cent.
The provincial New Democrats are down to 24 per cent support, compared to 26 per cent three months ago.
Undecided voters total 32 per cent of people polled, while two per cent declined to answer. Five per cent said they either support none of the parties, or do not plan to vote.
