Are the polls right?

In a technical sense yes. There is no doubt the numbers are as the pollsters say.

But do they predict the final result?

Maybe not.

Remember two elections ago the Conservatives were well up to begin and they lost. And last election the Liberals were up at first but they lost.

Now this doesn't mean the polls are meaningless. If the Liberals were up by 10% I would be trumpeting the poll with glee. I would be glad to see a powerful trend towards Dion.

That said, the battle is not over and we can still succeed so -- once more into the battle!

The battle is over. Even the TO Star is starting to question Dion's leadership. Chantal Hebert gives Dion one week to pull his sh*t together or its over. That's one week more than I give him.
I think it's time to start talking about re-building the party.

As much as I love to see a poll in who I supports favour, you really can't take them seriously. The only poll that matters is on election day; the rest is just speculation.

Anon at 11:29. The reason why the Libs are not talking about it is easy. We're still trying to explain the first paragraph of the Green Shift.
Thank you Liberal party (read: Dion) for blowing an election.

it saddens me to admit this, but I have to wonder who the hell is in the back office of the Liberal party advising them on strategy. The party seems disorganized and dysfunctional. They have every opportunity to attack Harper's shortcomings and scandals (tainted food, Maxime Bernier, etc) and yet they are silent on these. Why???
They need to do more than just talk about the Green shift. They need to start discrediting Harper... the Conservatives are certainly trying to discredit Dion.
