Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau made his third and final stop in Winnipeg Saturday night, as a 78 day Federal Election campaign nears its end.

Thousands greeted Trudeau at the St. James Civic Centre Auditorium on Ness Avenue.

Parked vehicles filled many streets near the event which began just after 7:00 p.m. Trudeau took to the stage around 7:30 p.m.

A line-up of supporters waiting to get into the packed room stretched about a full city block from the front doors of the auditorium.

Liberal support has surged across the country in recent weeks.

The latest CTV, Globe and Mail poll by Nanos Research shows Liberals with 36.5 per cent of voters.

The Conservatives remain back at 30.6 per cent, the NDP sits at 23.5 percent, and the Green Party has 4.7 per cent support nationally.

The 42nd Federal Election happens on Monday October 19, 2015.
