The small lead for the Conservatives over the Liberals remains the same as in last week’s Ekos poll. In fact, both of the 2 major parties numbers marginally dropped.
With that, and with the fact 2 other polls have shown the same small lead/deadlock, I believe it’s not unfair in presuming/asserting that one can now say [...]

Realizing that prorogation was the worst political mistake since Pierre Trudeau handed John Turner a list of his friends to find jobs for, the PMO is starting to throw furniture out the windows, in a vain attempt to get the Langevin Block to levitate.

31.6% LPC
31.1% CPC
14.6% NDP
11.0% Green
9.1% BQ (37% in Quebec)
2.6% [...]

I won’t sugar-coat my views on things; the latest set of polls are not good for those of us in the Liberal camp. The latest includes today’s Ekos poll release, that has a few of us Liberal-allied blogs smarting. I’m sure the Liberal politicians and strategists are smarting even worse.
I have a few qualifiers [...]

That title is NOT a reference to the suddenly-back-in-the-news Wafergate thing, although I suppose it could be (by the way, I think I like BCL’s term for it better; ‘cracker caper’). However, if you’re looking for tape on that and a recap of a story that proves it’s summertime around here, and that both media [...]

So here’s your new weekly poll from Ekos:
National federal vote intention:
¤ 32.2% LPC
¤ 31.8% CPC
¤ 16.0% NDP
¤ 10.7% Green
¤ 9.3% BQ
A full provincial breakdown is at the Ekos link. Basically, the Liberals have a lead based on their improved stance in Ontario, and it’s your basic stalemate for the summer poll. basically. I will however [...]

An apparent national stalemate between the 2 largest parties, with the smaller parties gaining some ground:
LPC 32.2% (32.6% last week), CPC 31% (34.8%), NDP 16.2% (14.3), GPC 11.5% (9.3%), BQ 9% (9%)
There have been some shifts here and there in regional areas (The Conservatives seem to have slumped back in Ontario and Quebec), but as [...]

I call this little staged presentation being done today Magna 2:
Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to present a rosy picture of his Conservative government’s handling of the recession Thursday in a slick made-for-TV presentation designed to forestall a quick summer election…The presentation will be moderated by Senator Mike Duffy, a former television journalist, and [...]
