The merger of Canada's two right-wing parties has so far failed to make a dent in the overwhelming popular support for Paul Martin's Liberals, according to a new poll.

The Compas/National Post poll, conducted last week, found 49% of voters support the Liberals, compared with 19% for the new Conservative Party of Canada.

Heading into a leadership convention next month, the Conservatives are barely ahead of the New Democratic Party, which under leader Jack Layton has edged up to 17% support, the poll found.

"The Liberals are headed for a landslide in the next federal election, if this holds up," Conrad Winn, the president of Compas Inc., said yesterday. "The public is clearly comfortable with Mr. Martin and with the party."
