Within the margin of error....so if thats your idea of crazy, you must have thought Mitt Romney beating Obama was the craziest #### in recent history.
And if Trudeau is the Liberal nominee
LIB 39%
CPC 30%
NDP 23%
So now I see why all these CPC supporters are so petrified of Trudeau. He's done nothing, literally nothing, and would win them a comfortable minority. Who cares if he gets 0% support here? They'll still win easily. What this poll should confirm to you and all CPC supporters is a majority is more or less out of the question again in 2015. Its all about whether they can hang on to a minority. |
I would take those polls with a grain of salt, political parties always get bumps when they get new leaders or a major shift. They mean nothing.
Even during an election fight they mean pretty much nothing.
The NDP got a major bump after Layton kicked off, then got another bump into forming government territory when Mulcair took over and their sliding back.
Its a honey moon period.
During an election campaign when Justin is run through the grinder those numbers will probably slide back.
BTW more stupid statements by Justin are popping up, including another one from 2009 where he states that Quebecers are superior to the rest of Canadians.
He's making this pretty easy, the smart Liberal's are going to start looking at Trudeau as tainted meet and hopefully flood to better candidate.
Personally if I was a liberal, I don't know how there's any way that I wouldn't support Marc Garneau who is experienced, accomplished, can be someone that can be looked up to and doesn't have hoof in mouth disease.
Even Martha Findley (sp?) while what I consider to be a weaker candidate is probably a better candidate to lead the Libs.
The one thing that is a benefit for Trudeau is the vote splitting that's bound to happen again at the leadership convention, the same vote splitting that allowed Dion to disasterously become the Liberal leader.
