They note that the gains are primarily in BC, and that Ontario remains a dead heat in their view. I'm not sure how much I trust Ekos' numbers, given they consistently poll the Greens at twice the support anyone else does, and somehow 2.1% of decided voters intend to vote for one of the little parties. |
Ekos is very strange because their numbers are out of wack with the other major polls.
I never did check to see what polling company has been truest to election results.
The one thing that always makes me a little suspicious of Ekos is that its run by Frank Graves. The same Frank Graves who encouraged the Liberal's to pursue a strategy of cultural war between East and Western Canada duing a interview on CBC
