OTTAWA — Nycole Turmel sees little reason to change the NDP's strategy in Parliament, despite sagging poll numbers and signs that the official Opposition has been out-performed by the third-place Liberals.

The interim NDP leader dismisses suggestions her party is in any danger of being eclipsed by the Liberals.

She says she's been meeting with Canadians over the six-week Christmas break and they're happy with the way New Democrats have been holding Stephen Harper's majority Conservative government to account.

However, a new Harris-Decima poll, conducted for The Canadian Press, suggests the Liberals have made gains since their unprecedented rout in last May's election, while support for both the Tories and NDP has flagged.

The poll pegs support for the Tories at 32 per cent, down almost eight points since May, the NDP at 29, down almost two points, and the Liberals at 25, up six points.

The poll results come as New Democrat MPs are meeting to plot strategy for Monday's resumption of Parliament.

The telephone survey of 2,009 Canadians was conducted Jan. 12-22 and is considered accurate within plus or minus 2.2 percentage points, 19 times in 20.
