Sure, a projection model certainly doesn't capture things like incumbency or big swings very well.  For example, claims that the NDP is set to lose Surrey-Newton to the Liberals strike me as ridiculous.

But I don't see the 905 swinging Liberal in particular if they're clearly the third party.

Certainly a 905 "sweep" isn't likely for the Tories.  The NDP is very likely to pick up Oshawa and Brampton East and quite likely to break further into Brampton/Malton.  Half a dozen seats or so for the Liberals seems about right, in some ridings where they were narrowly defeated last time and where the NDP isn't going to be a contender.

Peel Region could very well see all three parties represented.

By sheer coincidence, there's a poll that bring together the two main strands of conversation so far (the debate and the vote patterns of the GTA):

Trudeau seen as strongest candidate by Torontonians in 1st debate

An interesting snippet from it:

"Trudeau was especially strong with residents in North York (31 per cent) and Peel Region (27 per cent), while Harper scored well in Etobicoke (27 per cent)."

Here's another interesting snippet:

"“We have to be careful, because this poll was conducted between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., and not everyone is home at that time,” Forum Research president Lorne Bozinoff said in a release Friday evening."

Gotta love Forum!  The drunken uncle of Canada's polling companies.

Any polls out since that Forum one? We need to confirm if this NDP pushing 40% trend is real or not.

It's the worst of both worlds for the NDP.  Nobody really believes that they were at 39%, but if the next poll shows them at 32% it will be seen as a disaster.

Ontario: EKOS / Forum / Mainstreet / Leger / 2011 Election
Cons: 31 / 31 / 33 / 30 / 44.4
NDP: 32 / 33 / 31 / 31 / 25.6
Lib: 28 / 31 / 31 / 31 / 25.3
Grn: 7 / 4 / 5 / 5 / 3.8

So if Ontario stays a perfect three-way split all the way to Election Day, who wins the most seats?  I'm guessing the NDP, due to the inefficiency of the Liberal vote, but what say you psephologists?

A significant chunk of NDP support is very soft Liberals who want to put Stephen Harper in his political grave.  If the Tories drop to third, I foresee a big jump in Liberal support from both other parties.

Spadina-Fort York poll (Forum Research): http://poll.forumresearch.com/data/Spadina-Fort%20York%20News%20Release%20%282015%2008%2006%29%208311%20Forum%20Research.pdf

Olivia Chow (NDP): 57%
Adam Vaughan (Lib): 28% (incumbent)
Sabrina Zuniga (Cons): 10%
Camille Labchuk (Green): 4%

I doubt the lead is that much. In fact, it looks like they heavily weighted up 18-34 demo. However, I don't doubt she is leading by at least 10 points.



Look at the Age cross-tabs:



The sample size distribution is just insane.  No reputable polling firm would have dared to publish this poll.

I don't buy those Quebec City numbers.


This was ALWAYS a possibility.

The Tories may be taking a hit over the Duffy Trial and the Revelations Thereof.  I can't wait to see the next batch of national polls to see if they drop to third place.

I gather that I am required at this juncture to perform my solemn ceremonial duty and remind everyone to be careful about constituency polling. And lo, it is done.

We are well aware of your opinions, Al. I think we all know to be careful. That doesn't mean we can't have fun and speculate. So, stop being a Debbie Downer.


This is a Canadian election thread: no fun is allowed.

If you want some fun, go to one of the American threads and mildly criticize Ayn Rand.

My favourite CBC Vote Compass story was that someone voted 'Don't know' to every question and it told them to vote Liberal.

Pretending to run to the left of the NDP worked for the Liberals last year in Ontario. They're hoping the strategy will work again this time. In Ontario, they were helped by the media actively backing this message and looking for all the so-called NDPers complaining about how centrist the party had got. I don't think the media is as willing to do that this time.

Neither the Liberals nor the Toronto Star possess any sense of shame.  The Liberals will continue their Wynne-ing strategy, while the Toronto Star will aid and abet.

A friend loves to remind me on how he clobbered Paul Wells in Reach for the Top (high school quiz show) back in 1981.
