Polls

Re: RE: Polls
I don't think this will change much. The speech was largely forgetable (other then letting the less politcally astute members of the country know that the sponsorship scandal has grown to the point of having the Prime Minister apologize on national television).
If anything, Martin may get a temporary blip for his "my papa raised me in the hallway of the Parliament Building" story. But, then some new revelation of Liberals dumping bodies in the harbour, or the like, will cause everyone to forget about it. :lol:
Mr. Harper, and Mr. Layton for that matter, could also stand to benefit for both pointing out that a national address is not the forum to air Liberal Party problems.

I think Layton will benefit. He came off in a win/win situation...either he gets the budget he wants, bringing in Ontario votes; or he's the one who tried, bringing in Ontario votes.
I'm not sure Harper will. Everybody who I've spoken too that was even slightly ambivalent towards him thought he came off as arrogant and played to his core audience instead of the people he needs to switch over. He can convert everybody in Alberta and he'll still lose.
Let's wait and see what the polls say though. Most Canadians don't follow politics. Most Canadians haven't been following this whole thing. Most Canadians have an innate understanding that our political system is corrupt.

I am looking forward to and I am quite curious to see if and how the next round of polls were affected or not by Martins speech last night.
I have a sneaky feeling the conservatives may go down a couple of points.

Usually that happens when they either don't poll in Quebec or don't give the party for a choice. In this case they likely didn't bother polling in Quebec.
Liberals and NDP went up 3 points after the speech and Cons only went down 1 point. I just heard this on the radio. I will see if I can find a link with more detailed info.
Could be. I just saw 5 parties but only 4 numbers. I wondered if you'd inadvertently missed one, but doing the math now, it adds up to 96%, which is usually the undecideds.
The formatting screws up even if you try to pretty it up by typing extra spaces to line everything up into nice little rows.
I'm not happy with that sentence... to many "up"s... but I'm just too tired to try to fix it.

I wonder if Harper realizes they are not gaining much, with the margin of error the Libs and Tories are basically at a dead heat.
