Perhaps the attack ads aren't working?

Liberals edge ahead in huge poll


OTTAWA, June 1 (Reuters) - Canada's opposition Liberals have edged ahead of the ruling Conservatives in popular support but not by enough to be sure of winning an election now, according to the largest ever poll conducted in Canada.

The Ekos survey of almost 11,000 Canadians -- more than 10 times the usual polling size -- put the Liberals at 33.5 percent support and the Conservatives at 32.3 percent.

With a government as incompetent in anticipating deficits and recessions as this one, and as reluctant to work cooperatively with the other parties, and as mean-spirited regarding workers laid off, and with a new leader, the Liberals should have opened a wide margin, not the minor one the polls shows.

Perhaps the very narrow lead is a result of the absence of any reasons given to Canadians to vote for the Liberals, other than simply as a default gesture (they're not the Tories ...)?

Something is wrong.

Agree with CuriosityCat...

Wondering why the lead over the BQ is not bigger.... SteveV will be having fits trying to explain this one...


(How about the electorate is too volatile? )

Um, the number was 11,000, not 1,000.

As for the other, the whining hurts my ears . . . please wait 'til I have my earplugs in.

CuriosityCat, what is wrong is that there wasn't a democratic leadership convention, the installation of Iggy is the worst thing that could have happened, those at the top are going to have to answer for this after Iggy loses the next election for the Liberal Party and he will.
