Well! That was a piss poor explanation.

You have to be careful who you get your explanations from, Pete! Some don't warrant a response! :) :)

That's the ebb and flow of politics. The highs and lows.

The only thing that's important is that a political party, or its leader, must be ascending during a campaign.

Election Day is really the only day that counts! :)

The Conservatives have been leaderless for most of the time since the last election and they're still up there with Libs. That's pretty pathetic. If I were a Liberal I'd be looking for a leadership review

NDP always chip away at the possibility of a more significant Liberal lead.

Which is a good thing, of course.

If I were a Liberal, I'd be more worried by the leaderless Tories hanging around at 32%. It's almost as bad as Trump's approval rating of 33% with a strong economy. If you can't make hay in good times, you got nothing but troubles ahead

Conservatives would beat Libs: Poll

If a federal election was held today, the Conservatives would be narrowly voted in over the Liberals.
So says a new Forum Research poll, which found of 1,350 decided and leaning voters, 39% would support the Tories and 35% would back the Liberals.
The same poll found the NDP got 15% of the vote, while the Bloc Quebecois and the Green Party got a mere 5% and 4%, respectively.
Specifically, the poll found if an election were held today, the Conservatives would get a 169 seat minority government, while the Liberals would win 130 seats. The NDP, BQ, and Green Party would get 26, 12 and one respectively.

The poll also found is that Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s performance approval is down.
Numbers show 43% said they approved of the PM’s performance — down six points since last August (when it was 49%) and 47% said they disapproved of it, up five points from the same period (when it was 42%).
Meanwhile, the jury’s still out on Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, who sees a performance approval of 26% while 30% disapprove and 44% saying they don’t know whether they approve or disapprove.
The same poll also says despite a dip in Trudeau’s popularity, more than 34% see him as the best candidate for prime minister, while Scheer has only 20% support and NDP leader Tom Mulclair has 12%.
Results based on the total sample are considered accurate +/- 3%, 19 times out of 20.

You'd think an American that spends as much time on a Canadian forum as ES has would, at least, grasp the basics

Nobody's really a Liberal.

It's just where Canada goes when they're scared of the other two.

Sorry for upsetting you again. You Yanks seem to be hypersensitive lately. I promise I'm not kneeling as I type this.
