I did say- don't you think the Libs opening up a 6% lead is worthy of a press release? Given that it wasn't status quo, that was odd and then I got the response.<br /><br />One thing I have noticed, Ipsos doesn't publish weekly anymore. This could be because NP is broke, but it's curious that their releases suddenly became sporadic once the worm turned. I'd love to know who does government polling, who gets paid to do what.<br /><br />Anyways, no matter, the media frame is Libs surging, Cons falling, NDP and Bloc hurting, so...Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-5906868025547187202009-05-05T17:07:00.000-04:002009-05-05T17:07:00.000-04:00"I was told HD doesn't want to be simply known as ..."I was told HD doesn't want to be simply known as a political pollster, so they scale back on public releases, even though they poll weekly."<br /><br />What a load of crap!!<br /><br />Between the last two elections, when it was the Conservatives in the mid-high 30s and the Liberals around 30 HD published polls through the CP on a weekly basis.<br /><br />Now that the trend is virtually the exact opposite they claim they do not want to be identified as just a political polling firm. <br /><br />Horse***t!!<br /><br />I have also noticed that the MSM seems to have fallen out of love with polls since the New Year. The period between the last two elections was one of the most saturated with regard to the publication of polls and their "analysis".<br /><br />Now, they are published very sparingly and the pundits usually ignore them when they are.<br /><br />To me, that is the biggest indication that we are seeing a big change in Canadian politics at the moment.ottlibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12695135535019042279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-90643463926860711692009-05-05T16:14:00.000-04:002009-05-05T16:14:00.000-04:00Made me wonder who the government was ;)Made me wonder who the government was ;)Steve Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04871113039374739208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-47436690460107630302009-05-05T16:11:00.000-04:002009-05-05T16:11:00.000-04:00You can smell the fear - all parties attacked Igna...You can smell the fear - all parties attacked Ignatieff and the Liberals in QP today.<br /><br />They're just too obvious.RuralSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09552973218865121867noreply@blogger.com
