FREDERICTON - The Corporate Research Associates' (CRA) Atlantic Quarterly survey shows that the New Brunswick New Democratic Party (NDP) is the only party with momentum heading into the 2010 election campaign.

The New Democrats are at 18%, up four percentage points, at the expense of David Alward’s Conservatives, who dropped four points, to 42%. The Liberals are stalled at 36%.

“David Alward’s popularity is dropping while the NDP gains. It’s clear New Brunswickers don’t trust the Alward Conservatives. Despite a Liberal government that flip-flops more than a fish on a wharf, David Alward is losing support. The NDP are reaching out to Conservatives, to Liberals, and to undecided voters, and offering a sensible, pragmatic alternative: this poll shows our message is starting to get through,” said NDP Campaign Director, Mr. Dominic Cardy.
