Not to completely re-open this debate, but I saw this polling in today's Herald and thought it would be interesting to look back and see what so many thought the Libs/Cons numbers would be like after the raucos debate of 8 months ago.
Doesn't look like the Liberals will be trying to topple the Conservatives any time soon if these are anywhere near accurate.
Quote:
The Conservatives now command 39 per cent in support among decided voters, compared with 28 per cent for the Liberals, according to the survey, conducted exclusively for Canwest News Service and Global National by Ipsos Reid. Since the last Ipsos poll two months ago, the Tories have climbed five percentage points, while the Grits have slumped seven points.
gionally, the Conservatives now lead the Liberals in vote-rich Ontario by 43 per cent to 31 per cent. The Tories have also seen their fortunes improve in Quebec, where they had previously been in free fall. The Bloc Quebecois lead with 35 per cent, followed by the Liberals at 29 per cent and the Conservatives with 20 per cent.
In Atlantic Canada, the Grits lead the Tories by 34 per cent to 32 per cent. The Conservatives are ahead in the Prairies with 57 per cent, followed by the NDP with 25 per cent. The Tories continue to dominate Alberta at 64 per cent, followed far behind by the Grits at 21 per cent. In British Columbia, the Conservatives lead the Liberals, 38 per cent to 27 per cent.
