One of the bizarre trends in the polling in this election is NDP in Quebec. This is a party that got 4.6% of the vote in 2004, and 7.5% in 2006. Most recent polls from Ekox, Nanos, and Harris all show them polling between 16% and 19%. That's a huge spike. Anyone want to suggest reasons why? I'm at a loss to explain it. Has there ever been an established NDP base in Quebec? Has Layton made any crazy promises to Quebec in this election cycle?
