Good article by Chantal Hebert who documents a moving trend of "Anyone But Harper' amongst voters. The support Trudeau lost in his bungling of the ISIS matter went to the NDP and Greens, and not the Conservatives.
Yeah, and the voting is probably going to be strategic enough to avoid vote-splitting. In a Conservative/Liberal swing riding, anti-harper voters are probably going to stick with Trudeau, and vice versa in a NDP/Conservative swing riding (if there are any of the latter... maybe in BC?).


This is huge:

In the Ekos poll, Harper’s party was the second choice of less than 10 per cent of the supporters of the other parties.
If that's in any way accurate, that means the Conservatives' ceiling, even if they convert absolutely all of those 'second choice' votes, is somewhere in the mid-30s.
