The one thing I wonder is if there's another few polls showing the CPC close to a majority or winning big, if we see a collapse in either NDP or Liberal support by people thinking ABC simply going with the least worst, winning option. So NDP or Liberal support would collapse and whichever party is in better position to beat the Conservatives would get the support.

Mainstreet has a poll out today that shows the Conservatives marginally ahead in Ontario but with 16% still undecided, and we've been seeing this in a lot of other polls, which I think makes a tonne of sense. Most people who've decided to vote Conservative already knew they were going to vote for the Conservatives, whereas the NDP and Liberal support is a lot more fluid, and the undecideds are likely primarily composed of the ABCers who probably won't make up their mind until the very last minute. I'm actually a prime example of this. I know I won't be voting Conservative, but I haven't decided who I will vote for yet.
