Throughout the current election race heading into week 2, the Liberal government is running into trouble with the public's opinion.

In a newly published poll by Ipsos-Reid, the support for Conservative party members is on the rise, from approximately 26% to 30% in just one week. That's compared to the Liberals who only currently have 34% of the public's vote. The New Democrats (or the NDP) currently sit at about 18%, according the Ipsos-Reid, a poll published by the Globe and Mail.

In the event of a minority government, the only support the conservatives could have would be from the Bloc Québécois. The Bloc is a party based out of Quebec who's ultimate goal is for completely sovereignty from Canada.

The story doesn't stop there. The Liberal's support has been on the downturn for the whole election campaign, with their support in Ontario about the same as the Conservatives with about 36% for each party. Québéc also contains a very decisive population with around 11% of Canada's seats expected to go to the Bloc Québécois.

This will definitely be a very tight race for power as the government's support is falling faster than it can count to three. The Liberal government has held 3 consecutive terms in power, and the political landscape is about the change, possibly for the better if there's a minority government. Issues like same-sex marriage, legalization of marijuana and legalized filesharing could bring more young voters into the elections this year. For some unknown reason, the big players in this year's election are hardly touching on the subjects that affect young Canadians the most.

Will Canada see some change in federal government? It's hard to say, seeing as they never voted in their current leader to power in the first place. Ever since the Liberal party voted Paul Martin to power in December, the whole party has been surrounded by scandals, uncertainties and a general dissatisfaction with former Chertien-era leaders.

Election day will certainly be a close call, and we're hoping not to run into any Florida-style confusion. With that aside though, it's hard to predict the outcome. Will Liberals continue their side or can the conservative government take the lost votes from the Liberals? Time will tell. Until then, consider your options and get out there on voting day. Your vote counts.
