For now, the EKOS gives the Conservatives 33.7 per cent support compared to 29.2 per cent for Michael Ignatieff's Liberals. Jack Layton and his New Democrats have 14.4 per cent support; the Green Party is at 10.4 per cent and the Bloc Québécois is at 9.8

EKOS gives the Liberals 58% support in Atlantic Canada. Totally unbelievable. Knock those numbers down and you can subtract 3 points form the Liberal national numbers and add three points to the Conservative national numbers. And that puts then puts this poll in line with all the other recent polls.
The last EKOS poll had the NDP jumping 28% in Atlantic Canada and the Liberals vaulting to a ridiculous 1st place in BC. Now we have THIS EKOS poll.
When all the other likewise recent polls are considered, this is EKOS and Frank Graves to the Liberals' convenient rescue, nothing more.
The Atlantic Canada numbers are not credible.
58% L. and 20% C.
For all those doubters, Frank Graves is the most credible poller around. Suck it Conbots, the LPC is closing in.

LOL Sure he is. And now they'r enot. So you're going to conveniently forget about NANOS, ABACUS and AR, right Nonny? Heh.
Frank Graves is playing Liberal super-hero, coming in to save your Liberal day.
@10:42..
This is not about who conducted the poll but rather the clear anomaly within the result.
For example if a national poll showed the Cons. with a 20 point lead over the Bloc in Quebec I'd say it is suspicious.
It is pretty basic stuff.
I agree, on the face of it this poll is clearly wrong in Atlantic Canada. And that knocks off about three points from the national Lib numbers and adds three to the national Con numbers. Which, ironically, would then bring this poll in line with the other polls.
EKOS has never gotten an election prediction correct. The last two elections were nailed by NANOS and Angus Reid. Guess who is out to lunch again this week?
EKOS and the CBC ...again.
It looks more like Atlantic Canadians are ahead of the curve. Ignatieff's message is sinking in, and people want to get rid of the CONs. 58% is probably on the low side.
