Final Election Poll Shows Canada’s Liberal Party Could Win a Majority

[RandySF]

With Canadians just hours away from heading to the voting booth, a new poll provided in advance to VICE News predicts the Liberal Party is on track for a big win on Monday evening.

The Forum Research survey puts Justin Trudeau's Liberals at 40 percent — the highest result they've achieved thus far in the 78-day campaign — meaning the third-place party could be in a position to sweep into power with a majority government.

The poll puts the governing Conservatives at just 30 percent, and the official opposition New Democratic Party, who entered the campaign with a strong lead, in third place at 20 percent.

Forum may be the last pollster to release data on the campaign before the national ban on polling data comes into effect, at 10:30pm EST.

The polling company's projections — which are estimates of how many seats the parties could win, given their regional support — put the Liberals in majority territory, with 171 seats, the Conservatives well behind, with 109 seats, and the NDP in a distant third place, with just 46 seats.

1. I wonder why

4. I read that Trudeau is more likely to cooperate on the global warming

but less likely to cooperate on Syria.

5. Interesting. Global warming help always necessary/good, of course. Would that infer he'd be more

...skeptical about TPP approval?

[RandySF]

6. My bad. I got it mixed up with the pipeline.

He supports TPP.

3. It could be strategic at this point

Perhaps people are so determined to kick Harper out that they are going with the party most likely to do it.

9. Because the NDP support in Quebec depended on a large number of ridings they won last time by mere

hundreds of votes/

Mulcair has been attacking Trudeau more than the Tories buying into the not ready to rule meme.

Now Quebecers see the Liberal momentum and are more than happy to jump on board

The Liberals have always been good for Quebec and they know it.

Plus I think the Nijab thought bubble hurt the Tories hard and showed them up for the racists they are

They are presently leading only in Alberta and Saskatchewan which historically has always been the case except for conservative swings in Ontario and Quebec that seem to occur once every ten to fifteen years

10. Too bad the NDP lost their lead.

The Liberals will do a good job of keeping things the way they are in Canada. The NDP could have made it an even better country. Perhaps one day they will get to do just that.
