The overall numbers aren't good for Ignatieff--but the overall sample of the poll is only 1000, which is pretty small in and of itself.

I think a sample of 1000 Canadian voters is more then enough. With that you get 95% confidence level +/- 3% on the national level. I don't think you will find too many regular polls that will survey more people. But on the regional side there is more room for error.
