If
todays

Gallup
¬

Poll
of
voter
sentiment
sounds
familiar
its
because
the
latest
party
standings
almost
mirror
the
muddled
1972
federal
election
result
The
poll
taken
early
in
March
gives
the
minority
Liberal
Government
39
per
cent
of
the
vote
the
Conserva
Conservatives

and
the
balance-of-power
New
Democrats

In
the
Oct
30
1972
election
cliffhanger
the
Trudeau
gov
government
¬
ernment
earned
an
identical
39
per
cent
share
of
the
popular
vote
while
the
Tories
grabbed
35
and
the
NDP
took
18
The
Gallup
results
which
arent
always
taken
seriously
by
party
strategists
came
amid
continued
rumblings
that
the
NDP
is
preparing
to
pull
the
plug
and
force
another
election
The
opinion
survey
this
time
shows
a
dip
in
popularity
for
both
the
Liberal
government
and
the
NDP
which
has
kept
it
alive
in

¬
liament
Tory

¬
while

to
be

Compared
with
their
show
showing
¬
ing
in
the
February
poll
theLlberals
are
down
three
points
and
so
are
the
New
Democrats
The
Tories
have
climbed
by
three
points
draw
drawing
¬
ing
to
within
five
points
of
their
Liberal
foes
The
combination
of
a
Liberal
sag
and
a
Tory
surge
means
the
Trudeau
government
may
have
lost
more
than
half
of
the
11
point
edge
it
enjoyed
in
the
depth
of

The
Canadian
Institute
of
Public
Opinion
which
con
conducts

the
Gallup

the

There

he
said
since
firemen
walked
off

Friday
whereas
in

they
had
a

which
was
removed
As
a
consequence
he
said
no

A

is
a

said
planes
regularly
land
and
take
off
from

where
the

Such

however
are
