Abacus Data is out with its latest survey on politics in Newfoundland and Labrador and it spells continued bad news for the governing PC Party.

The survey results show the provincial Liberals lead the Tories by 25 points, with support for the Liberals at 57% among committed voters compared with 32% for the Tories and 9% for the NDP.

Liberal support is up 9 points since August while PC support is down 2 and NDP support is down 5. 72% think the Liberals will win the next provincial election, while 15% picked the PCs and 2% picked the NDP.

When it comes to Premier Paul Davis' overall performance, 32% say their impression of Davis is positive, while 26% said negative. 36% were neutral. Perhaps most disturbing for the governing party, 65% of those who voted PC in 2011, but who now support another party or are undecided, say there is nothing the Tories can do that would make them support the party again.

Abacus conducted a random telephone survey of 653 eligible voters in the province from February 17 to the 25th. The margin of error for the survey is plus or minus 3.9 percent 19 times out of 20.

The Abacus survey contains a lot more information concerning the electorate's views on politics and the province.
