Support for the Liberal Party among both Jews and Muslims is declining in response to the Gaza conflict between Hamas and Israel, according to a new poll.

Canadian Muslims now favour the NDP over the Liberals, while Canadian Jews are more supportive of the Conservatives, according to the Angus Reid Institute poll released May 16. Among both groups, the Liberals placed second, around 10 points behind the leading party.
