The big jump the Liberals got early last week has all but disappeared in the Nanos three-day roller, but some interesting things come out in looking at the regional polls: they're down significantly everywhere except Ontario, where they've narrowed the margin to 3%. Again, the only significant thing is whether these trends hold.
With the Liberals releasing their platform today, this week will be hugely important for them. They can't win the election this week (I'd argue they can't win the election at any point) but they can certainly lose it.
For the Conservatives, they need to hope that the recent change in numbers in Ontario is just a blip and not something that holds or grows. On the bright side, the overall trends in Atlantic Canada have been great for them, so the lower churchhill funding announcement seems to have its desired effect.
