Toronto - With less than two weeks until the provincial election, a new poll suggests the Liberals are headed for re-election.
An Ipsos-Reid poll conducted for CanWest Global indicates the Liberals have a commanding 10-point lead on the second place Conservatives.
Of decided voters, 43 per cent indicated support for the Liberals and 33 per cent indicated support for the Conservatives, while the NDP is at 17 per cent and the Green party is at 6 per cent.
The undecided vote has also dropped to just 5 per cent.
There has been some movement in the numbers and the poll suggests Conservative leader John Tory's faith-based school funding proposal is a contributing factor to the drop in numbers.
According to the poll, 68 per cent of Ontario residents oppose extending public funding to faith-based schools, and only 30 per cent support it.
