With a five point margin between the Conservatives and the Liberals, the results are currently reminiscent of the 2006 federal election. Support for the BQ continues to ramp up, likely a result of the continued focus on culture and crime. Ontario remains a close race with only four points separating the Liberals and the Conservatives. NDP support in Ontario is also trending upward. Tomorrow’s release of the Conservative platform will be a key event shaping the close of the campaign. With a late platform release and a tightening of the race, there is no room for error for the Conservatives with only about seven days left in the campaign.
Tune in to Prime Time Politics with Peter Van Dusen tonight at 8 pm (EST) on CPAC for a discussion of our latest polling results. For more detailed information on the methodology and the statistical results visit the Nanos Research website.
Methodology and Results
A national random telephone survey is conducted nightly by Nanos Research throughout the campaign. Each evening a new group of 400 eligible voters is interviewed. The daily tracking figures are based on a three-day rolling sample comprised of 1,200 interviews. To update the tracking, a new day of interviewing is added and the oldest day dropped. The margin of accuracy is ±2.8%, 19 times out of 20 for 1,200 random interviews.
The numbers in parenthesis denote the change from the previous Nanos Research Survey completed on October 4, 2008.
Question: If a FEDERAL election were held today, could you please rank your top two current local voting preferences? (First ranked reported)
Committed Voters - Canada (N=1,027, MoE ± 3.1%, 19 times out of 20)

- Liberal Party 29 (-1)
- NDP 20 (+1)
- BQ 11% (+1)
- Green Party 6% (-1)
- Undecided 15% (+1)

Why do you feel the need to lie so much? The tories are exactly where they were yesterday.
On the other hand - does look good for the libs. They actually DID slide, but by one point which they seem to have lost to the ndp. The libs have probably topped out.
Well it's been three days - the libs would seem to have actually picked up some ground.
And this time there is some reflection in the other polls. I think niks numbers still seem high for the libs, but there's little doubt the tories have actually slipped.
We're looking at a minority similar to what we had before at this point.

Why do lie foxer..the libs haven't topped out at all. The momentum usually shifts to the top tier parties closer in yet you stick with your anti liberal diatribes without foundation. The tories opened up this campaign and move to around 40% at one point and now find themselves hanging on for dear life. That's slippage and the facts are there for all to see.

Why do you lie? I have no idea - go ask your mother.
The libs have appeared to have topped out. If the figures are accurate, they've been at that for 4 days now. No upward movement. They've capped out.
The cpc is still the top teir party :) Sorry for your luck :)
The tories opened at 32 actually according to nick - they rose to a hight of 40 eventually and are now at 34. Which means they probably have more room to go up than down.
THe libs opened at 35 and have nosedived as low as 24. Theyre' at 30 - so they have room to go down a bit. And they haven't raised in 4 days. They've peaked.
Parties never stay at one level for long - they go up or down. The libs went up and have peaked... there's a pretty good chance they'll go down. They MIGHT go up but it's unlikely. But they've definately peaked.
We'll see!

Tory support has been on a slow and steady overall decline since the beginning of the campaign. This is especially true in Central and Eastern Canada. To maintain otherwise is just grandstanding.
That being said, the decline nationally is relatively small. And recent Liberal gains are nothing to write the Governor General about.
I believe we'll end up with close to the same numbers in Parliament as last time, with a few regional and inter-party shifts. I except the Tories to lose seats in Quebec and Atlantic Canada, but perhaps gain a few in Ontario to make up for it.

You didn't factor in what's hapening here in BC - this is something never seen before it's as if the LPC has folded up it's tent and is trying to save the furniture. All 7 incumbent seats have a good chance and being split up between the NDP and the Conservatives.

Those numbers are national numbers and certainly in certain parts of the country they aren't going to change much and in certain parts even if they do change in the Liberals favour it will have no real effect on the outcome. The Prairies are blue. Period. The hick vote has always favoured the Conservatives. Atlantic Canada is pretty solidly Liberal already. They've always had a social conscience. They know the benefits of social action and acting as a society to work for individual needs. Neither the Conservatives or the Liberals or the Conservatives are going to make inroads with the Bloc. Duceppe always handles himself in the debates. Look for the block to hold on to or even add to their seat count. This is bad news for the Torys who have to gain some seats in Quebec to get a majority. The "recognizing Quebec as a nation" thing was seen there as a cheap political trick and has consequently not worked in the Torys' favour. Time will tell if it actually backfired. Finally Ontario is where the action is where the seats are and where the gratest potential for a voting shift that continues right up to election day. And yes its 34 to 29 nationally but its more like even or the Liberals 1 back in Ontario. Right now the numbers indicate a Tory minority with only a few less seats than last election. If the shift continues (even at a slowed pace) toward the Liberals look for a Liberal minority.

westerner - Apparently the Liberals have the socially unconscious vote all sown up. At least on this blog anyway. Let me see there is Coryphaeus and the eight parnels. That makes nine but I am sure I am missing a few? Speaking of brain dead, Mr. Bean and company stepped all over themselves again today. Martin was dusted off to help them out but spent all day defending his book that Chretien supporters released early to embarrass him. I expect that he will be put back in the closet real quick. Dion spent all day in BC. He went to Keith Martin's riding to try and save him from almost certain defeat but ended up having a very public argument with him over guess what? Green policy! It seems that the Tories have offered to fund a sewage plant so that the City of Vancouver can stop dumping raw sewage into the ocean. Martin is against the plan because he says the sewage is harmless. Mr. Bean is supporting the environmentally sound views of the local Tory candidate. Are these guys screwed up or what?
Apparently Dion offered to do a photo op with the Tory candidate but he turned Dion down. He said that if the Liberals won't be seen in public with him neither will he (this part is a joke but the rest is true!).

A quick look on the CTV and CBC websites will show photos of the PM out in public meeting with Canadians and an article is on the CTV site about him sitting with reporters on the plane joking with them by Roger Smith called "Stephen Harper joins reporters at back of the plane".

It's interesting that the Leadership Index Score of all of the top 3 candidates has been dropping as many voters moved to the undecided category on that measure. (Undecideds are included on the Leadership Index)
The Conservatives will have to work hard this week and be on their game to make gains over the last election.
The NDPs hopes of forming the official opposition are fading, as expected. I think they'll finish 4th.
Liberal supporters will probably be happy that they are holding at this level. A decade ago, who would have thought the Liberals would be happy to be 5 points back. :)

This is the definitive data point.
This tells us the Liberal gains on Friday were real, but they haven't progressed at all since then. That's useful information.
The other pollsters are missing this, but they're also inflating Green support quite badly - that's the apparent cause for the discrepancy.
This was happening early in the campagin, as well, but the discrepancy had narrowed somewhat. Now it's back.

Non-aligned in Toronto
Hi Nik, On Saturday I made this fearless prognostication:
I'll try my hand at prognostication and predict that by Monday (Sunday nights numbers counted) when all of the fallout from the debates have percolated through the roll, that we will see the Conservatives around 33%, the Liberals at 25% and the NDP around 21%. The greens will get a bump to 11 or 12 and the rest go to Mr. Duceppe.
My Numbers on The Conservatives and NDP are pretty close but I didn't foresee the migration of Green votes to the Liberals.
At any rate, the trends have re-established themselves, and I am now expecting a considerably weaker Conservative minority Gov't, especially with the resurgence of the Bloc in Quebec, the Dippers in Ontario and British Columbia.

Polls show that Canadians are looking for a leader they can trust or identify with and it seems that Stephane Dion has touched a nerve somewhere in most Canadians daily life's- he seems like the guy next door who is just being himself open and straight forward with no frills attached to his views or what plans he has in place for Canada a true leader with a touch of humility and humbleness an open face ... he spells comfort and easy to identify with and Canadians need to feel safe and loved in this times of economic melt down.. the markets are still dropping and instead of the other leaders i.e Harper and Layton speaking out on the worries that Canadians are facing they still put it out their through rosy glasses while Dion come out and said Canadians should be prepared for hard times. and that is what leadership is all about not hiding the truth but dealing with it head on..
my point being a strong and true leader should always prepare his or her peoples to face a storm no matter how bad it looks....

Nik said on CPAC that he would poll second choices. When will this be done? It will be interesting to see how few will choose the Conservatives as their second choice. This will undermine the legitimacy of a Conservative government, if we get one.
With strategic voting, many of us will vote for our second choice, if that candidate stands a better chance of defeating the Conservative candidate. We may even vote for our third choice!
What is happening now makes me think that a preferential ballot would solve much of our problems. If no candidate gets 50% or more, all second choices would be counted in. No MP would be voted in with less than 50% of first and second choice votes. This would significantly increase their legitimacy.
It would be a much simpler reform than going for MMPP or STV.
Please, Nik, do a polling on this question!

One thing that Nik's numbers show is that votes are walking out of the Conservative camp and into the Liberal camp. The shift has been rather quick after the debate and because of the concentration of seats in Southern Ontario (the most densely populated area of that Province that Jim Flaherty doesn't think is a good place to invest) a small shift in voter support makes a big shift in seats. Harper has shown that there has not been any real development in Tory thinking regarding Ontario and the manufacturing sector. More importantly, the optics of Harper's "trust us everything is okay" message against the backdrop of stock market mayhem says "trust us even though we don't really care" to the average citizen watching his or her pension savings dwindle as their job begins to look more precarious. I expect the shift to the Liberal camp to continue to the tune of at least 3 more %, at least in Ontario. This will mean that there will be a minority government ... a Liberal minority government ... with the Liberals holding 117 seats nationally and the conservatives 112. This of course is the perfect (and typically Canadian) answer to the heavy "don't trust Dion" advertising of the Conservatives, namely, to elect Dion who has put forward a positive plan while leaving Harper to act as an anchor. Elect the reformer and tie his hands. Poetic justice. The best of both worlds.

The Nanos polls appear to be tracking the real grass roots numbers across the country. Good work Nick and his team!!
I commented to CTV on their out of date poll results. This is what I sent to CTV
"I'm not sure that Harper's announcement of a platform is going to help his chances of increasing his seat total in Parliament.
Also it's curious that the CTV national poll tracker hasn't been updated since Sept 28-29. Also the battleground numbers are still in the Sept 26-Oct 2 grid.
I hope that Harper is not influencing what CTV is reporting or not reporting."
They allowed my first sentence but censored the part about the out of date poll numbers.
Where is the fair, whether good or bad, reporting in this country going?
