Another pinch of salt that should be taken with Canadian polls is that historically Liberal voters are much less likely to actually vote compared to Tories and NDP. The stats show that for any election only two thirds of those who say they'll vote Lib make it to the polls, for the otehr party's its a much higher pecentage.

Actually, when looking at stats available from Elections Canada, right-wing votership has been decreasing faster than the left's in the last 4 elections. In 2004, a lot of ridings won by the Liberal's saw no increase in votes cast for the Liberals, but saw significant drops in right-wing turnout. I think a lot of conservative voters just assume a result and decide their vote isn't worth an effort. Losers!

stratos stratos:

Yeah what bart said.

Kind of a side note but what are polls realy for. To tell us how others think? If so does that mean I should change my vote to what someone else wants me to vote for just because in some poll my choice is not in the lead?

It seems more likely that polls are a way to try and influence a persons vote. I dont worry about polls because like bart said earlier in this thread the only poll that counts is the tally from election day.

Yay!!! Someone who gets it.

I've been contacted for three 'national' polls since October. All featured questions that were weighted to elicit a particular response. I've berated all of them for that (one pollster hung-up -boo-hoo- when I couldn't stop laughing at the pro-CPC weighting of the questions). It's been like the they were trying to influence the opinion of those they were polling, so they could produce a result that influenced the opinions of those whom they didn't contact.

And yes, there are polling firms that try to create a favourable Conservative or NDP or Bloq result. They just do a better job of hiding their spin than the inept clowns at the Strategic Counsel (yes, it's spelled counsel not council. They exist to shape opinions, not to gauge them).

The Tories have consistently been in the 37-39 range while the Liberals have been in the 27-30. This is almost certainly where we'll end up on Monday.

26% would be a all time low for the Liberals EVER, lets see if we can make it 22%

All your posts have racial undertones.


Do you have race problems? Or an inferiority complex?

Good point.

My advice, don't vote for anyone who runs for the same party that enlists and supports bigots.

If you are not a bigot you can run for another party or be an independent.

That way we'll know the bigots from the honest rednecks.
