$1:
Ultimately, the poll conducted this week by Ipsos Reid reveals a historic shift in political allegiances, as a growing consensus forms around the NDP among those Canadians who would like to see Harper�s Tories removed from office.

According to the poll, which asked Canadians who they would vote for if an election occurred today, the NDP under Thomas Mulcair would receive 38% of the popular vote, up three points since last month. (That�s also well up from the 2011 election, when the NDP finished second with 31% of the vote.)


Yes, it's just-another-poll. But the rise in support has yet to plateau for the NDP.

Other polls say that if Trudeau was leader of the Liberals they would pull ahead (I know they would get my vote as I hate Mulcair)

I'd definitely support a party if Lester B. Pearson was its leader.

Polls, sure is funny how polls can be manipulated to represent whatever the pollster (firm) wants.

The best poll is an election. That's right, I went there. :)

But those only happen every ~4 years.

Recent polls show that pollsters need more cash as there are no elections scheduled for 3 years.

Polls show that if the NDP ever came into power, there's a 78% chance that Bodah would move anywhere west of Ontario within a year to save himself from the socialist zombie apocalypse.

wait a minute! what happened to the poll last week that said if Justin "superman" Trudeau was to run for the liberal leadership he would take the next election by a huge margin?

I bet I could 'create' a poll that would indicate how 90% of Canadians hate taking polls, or maybe these pollsters were the same group of yahoo's that worked on the Alberta election polling, how did that turn out for you????

Really? 90%? I find that hard to believe. 54% seems like a more reasonable number.

And when the NDP's support plummets due to that babbling idiot of a leader, I'm sure the polls will be all "wrong". :lol:

Agreed.

Polling firms often run what are called 'push polls' that push a predetermined outcome by creating loaded questions that often don't have options that allow responses outside of what's wanted.

The effect that I've observed over the years is that polling data in the USA is predictably pro-Democrat in the year prior to an election but if the actual results are pro-Republican you'll see the results shift to the truth as the election draws near. That's why I'm thinking Obama's goose is cooked and that's because the polls that should show him leading Romney by 10pts right now (New York Times, MSNBC, etc.) show him behind or in a dead heat. When they can be historically counted upon to give the Democrat a 10pt handicap at this time before an election I'd say that this is nothing but bad news for Obama.

Too bad for Mulcair and friends that the next election isn't for several years. :lol:

And when multiple polls from multiple firms show the NDP in the lead, it's a global conspiracy. Get your tinfoil hats on.
