      What Jazz fails to tell you is that this was the only poll that suggested a close race, all other polls put PC well in the lead. Second, this poll was done by a new Toronto polling firm that had never before done a political poll and the results were so out of line that a number of news organizations did not even report the results. Third, the polling company itself acknowledged a day after release that there may be a problem with the numbers and 4 days later admitted there were data weighing errors and it was incorrect. The corrected results were in line with all other polls which predicted a PC lead. If Jazz read the story instead of just the headline he would have realized the poll was wrong.

        Just glad to see the Liberals out of party status..... that’s the best part .
        Was that the same polling group that had Hillary way out in front of Trump even up to the day of the election??? Lol
        It will be interesting to watch all these polls here in Canada leading up to the election, and the actual results after .

          You know what I wouldn't mind seeing...

          ZERO polls during the election campaign. Party's can have their own internal ones, but thats it.

          I wonder what the effects would be on the election. Would people vote more because they wouldn't be compacent that their choice of party was a shoe in, or even because polls can tell them that their vote is pointless because their choice has no chance?

          Or would it mean people vote less?

          Would strategic voting because of percieved "momentum" not take place? Would people cast a vote truer to their thinking or would it push them harder towards strategic not knowing whether their vote was safe to not elect "the other guy" instead?

          It would possibly mean the bobble heads would have to discuss the actual platform positions, and not constantly be focused on "momentum", or the horse race...

          Just a thought.
