Fair enough; I think we're so starved for any sort of polling information (when compared with what our American neighbours have access to) that any poll that comes out, even with a small sample size, should be looked at as an opportunity for more analysis. It's always difficult to tell, though, if this poll is different because of the sample size, or different because it's more recent, or just different through statistical variance.
