"TORONTO October 7th, 2015 - In a random sampling of public opinion taken by the Forum Poll among 1447 Canadian voters two weeks before the October 19 Federal election, more than one third will vote for the Liberals (35%), while about 3-in-10 will vote Conservative (31%). About one quarter will vote NDP (26%), and few will vote either Green (3%) or Bloc Quebecois (4%). These findings represent an eight point jump for the Liberals since last week (September 29, Liberals - 27%) and a three point drop for the Conservatives (from 34%). The NDP vote may have shrunk slightly (from 28% on September 29)."
Previous Forum Poll had Conservatives up +7 over Liberals.

It appears they are slowly moving in that direction. They must move their faster.

(5,604 posts)They switched tactics and are coming out guns a-blazing. This aint over by a long shot. The Canadian establishment media just want's voters to think so. Beside Pollsters missed/downplayed the orange crush in Quebec, and Alberta, and also wrongly proclaimed BC's NDP a shoo in. Modern polling is garbage, disseminated by a corporate media, to sway votes, that is all.
Besides the Libs have pulled this card too many times, only to go on a break all of their promises and govern from the right.

(36,745 posts)If you live in a predominantly Lib riding, vote Lib. If you live in a predominantly NDP riding, vote NDP. If enough do that, you will have given the Libs and NDP enough seats to form a coalition government. Justin Trudeau will understand that is what will need to be done, as his father had to form a coalition with the NDP after the 1972 election.

The liberals will win it looks like because of misreads by the Left and the Right, and who is there in the Middle to take the prize, as usual when that happens?
