I'm not sure I'm buying this bounce thing, particularly when you numbers are EXACTLY the same as they were prior to the games in the province. <br /><br />Marpman<br /><br />It doesn't appear a ton of seats are really available for the Libs, no matter.

It is grossly unpopular.<br />It would be wonderful to see the LPC win outside of the Lower Mainland, but I see it as unlikely.weeblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591531825570909900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-92127217961058867142010-03-09T22:43:55.049-05:002010-03-09T22:43:55.049-05:00One thing that people keep forgetting with regard ...One thing that people keep forgetting with regard to BC is that in the last election, the Tories took 45% of the vote in BC and that gave them 22 seats out of 36 - whether the Tories are at 32% or 35% - they are wayyyyy down from 45% in BC in virtually every poll and this means they would probably lose about half a dozen seats or more seats there. <br /><br />At best the Olympics gave them a small dead cat bounce - but their BC numbers have been dismal for a long time.DLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587165866597795302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-46563462069017495452010-03-09T19:32:06.126-05:002010-03-09T19:32:06.126-05:00You can submit poll questions to Graves on CBC ;) ...You can submit poll questions to Graves on CBC ;) I'd be curious as well.Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-86002631316146610072010-03-09T19:27:24.173-05:002010-03-09T19:27:24.173-05:00My question is when are the media and pollsters go...My question is when are the media and pollsters going to begin looking beyond the horserace numbers and begin asking the desire for change question?<br /><br />Throughout the Martin years the pollsers kept telling us that the Liberals maintained leads of 6-10 points over the Conservatives. However, they also kept telling us that the desire for change was over 50%.<br /><br />We all know what happened in the election that followed and part of the reason for the result of that election was the constant bombardment of the media saying Canadians wanted change.<br /><br />I forget which one but one pollster asked that question before Mr. Harper prorogued Parliament and it was sitting at 48%.<br /><br />I wonder where it is now and I wonder when the media are going to start paying to have that question answered?ottlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695135535019042279noreply@blogger.com
