But Conservative supporters are far less supportive of helping refugees than Liberal and NDP voters By Éric Grenier, for CBC News Posted: Sep 09, 2015 5:00 AM ET Last Updated: Sep 09, 2015 1:27 PM ET Migrants and refugees arrive on a dinghy after crossing from Turkey to Lesbos island, Greece, on Tuesday.

Angus Reid polling suggests differing views. Fully 16 per cent said that Canada should sponsor and resettle no refugees, while another 21 per cent supported allowing in 5,000 or fewer over the next year. But 25 per cent were willing to allow between 5,000 and 10,000, while 38 per cent supported sponsoring and resettling over 10,000. Mainstreet found support for 10,000 or fewer brought in over an undetermined amount of time at 13 per cent, while 24 per cent envisioned bringing in between 10,000 and 30,000. Almost half of respondents, or 48 per cent, supported settling over 30,000 refugees. * Vote Compass: Find out where you stand on the issues * Poll Tracker: Follow the trends and latest seat projections Canadians also appear to be split on the kind of contribution the country could best provide. Mainstreet found that 31 per cent thought resettling refugees was Canada's best way to contribute, while 27 per cent supported humanitarian aid. Just 18 per cent thought military force was the best solution. Conservatives see things differently -- Conservatives were also more than twice as likely as Liberals and New Democrats to think that "many of these [refugees] are bogus," according to Angus Reid. They were half as likely to want to bring in more than 10,000 refugees over the next year, and a majority were against increasing the number to 20,000. * ANALYSIS | Mulcair, Trudeau, Harper remain in close race * Peter Kent tweets, then retracts, claim refugee is ISIS fighter -- support levels. __________________________________________________________________ The poll by the Angus Reid Institute was conducted on Sept. 3, interviewing 1,447 Canadians via the internet.
