The new site looks really sharp. Congratulation!
Is there going to be seat specific predictions ie what ridings are predicted for con/lib/ndp
Jimmy - yes.
Your poll numbers for the Leger survey published Jan 24th are incorrect. They should read PC’s 32%, Liberals 18%, NDP 7%, Greens 3% and Wildrose Alliance 6%.
I like the look of the new site.
Joe — the numbers posted are for decided voters (which is what we post). The numbers you cite include undecided voters.
Fair enough. The decided numbers should be 49% PC, 28% Liberal and the numbers for the NDP, Greens and Alliance were not released.
The Greens are running 81 candidates as of today. They are often polling ahead of the Wildrose Alliance and has polled ahead, and has tied with the NDP in polls as well. The Wildrose Alliance are running 58 candidates- so why would they be projected ahead of the Greens, who as of today are running 81 candidates- just to short of a full slate?
P.S- nice site Greg, what an improvement! Will you be covering the March 17th by-elections as well?
I cant wait to see how the new polls look in seat projections! Looks like the Liberals are gaining.
Joy! Two new polls out recently. The 5-poll rolling average numbers I have are
47.4% PC
28.3% AL
10.5% ND
8.1% WA
5.7% GP
But the three more recent polls show movement against the PC’s (seems to be splitting between the Alliance and the Liberals) When undecides are taken out the last poll shows
45.5% PC
30.0% AL
9.0% ND
10.5% WA
5.0% GP
When are specific seat predictions coming
um… isn’t this election like _tomorrow_ ?
has there really been no movement in the race for the past month?
Will there be riding by riding predictions?
