OTTAWA - The Middle East is in the grip of revolution, Justin Bieber is a pop culture phenomenon, and the Conservatives are being attacked by the opposition as corrupt.

A lot has changed since the last federal election was held in 2008, but a new poll suggests voter support might be frozen in time.

The latest Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey found the parties at roughly the same position they were on election day three years ago.

The poll pegged the Conservatives at 34 per cent, the Liberals 28 per cent, the NDP 17 per cent and the Greens nine.

Compare that to percentages from the last federal election: 37 per cent for the Tories, 26 per cent for the Liberals, 18 per cent for the NDP and seven for the Greens.

The numbers seem at odds with what both the opposition and Conservatives hope would be a game-changing election.

The Liberals, NDP and Bloc Quebecois have been busy trying to portray the Tories as a party contemptuous of the integrity of Parliament and plagued with ethical problems.

Where the Conservatives rode to power in 2006 on a platform heavily focused on integrity and accountability, calling the Liberals a corrupt government, now the shoe is suddenly on the other foot.

But a pair of RCMP investigations, charges against Conservative officials under the Elections Act, and a contempt of Parliament process against the government has not produced a dramatic effect in the polls.

Nor does the latest poll suggest that the Conservatives are currently within reach of scoring a majority, despite the persistent unpopularity of Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff.

The telephone poll of 2,001 Canadians was taken between March 10-20, and has a margin of error of 2.2 per cent 19 times out of 20.

The survey suggests the Tories and Liberals are tied for support in several regions -- Atlantic Canada, Quebec and Ontario -- as well as among women voters.

In Quebec, the Bloc Quebecois still has a healthy lead of 40 per cent, with the Tories and Liberals both at 19 per cent and the NDP at 12 per cent.

The margin of error is larger for the provincial and gender-related numbers.
