I think the Nanos numbers reflect that the ABC vote has now gotten behind the Liberals as they've clearly separated themselves as a more viable alternative than the NDP. What will be interesting to see is how the NDP reacts. At this point winning the election is out of the question, so do you go hard after Trudeau in the hopes of getting opposition status at best? Maybe but I think that might backfire and push more NDP support to Trudeau as I would guess NDP supporters are group that the most wants Harper gone and can live with Trudeau.

What clearly backfired though was the CPC "He's just not ready" ads. By artificially setting the bar so low for Trudeau, it made it very easy for him to appear "ready" relative to what the CPC was attempting to present, that he would be a disaster. And if fact he far exceeded that low bar to the point I think many are thinking "He's certainly no less ready than Harper was when he took over". That and the longer election cycle allowing Trudeau time to get momentum going. Not sure that happens in a shorter cycle.
