October Federal Election Discussion / Poll

[DaveP]

Im not gonna make accusations but the NDP in my riding has been very aggressive and has been putting up signs right outside where peoples property lines end in an effort to make their support seem bigger

How is the race in your riding? In mine there's a Liberal incumbent who's actually a pretty good guy and a well respected guy and he'll win with a landslide. Not much point in voting really, other than to show a few of us do like the Conservatives. Is it a close race where you are?

Im in willowdale


Basically the race is divided alongside ethnic lines

The liberals and NDP are both targeting the extremely large iranian community in the area.


The conservatives are targeting the extremely large chinese and korean communities in the area


its gonna be a tough one

NDP is continuing to drop and all their losses are going to the Liberals. An 11 point gap between the LPC and the NDP now. Whoda thunk?

Wow things got vicious in my riding. A lot of conservative signs got yanked down and vandalized and people put up ndp signs in front of conservative signs on peoples lawns

Happens here more when it's a provincial election. I still think they are useless. Our mayor did not put up any signs when he ran for the first time and he won. What does that say.

I certainly did not but it's what I had hoped for . I was sure the orange wave would continue here.

It's because we already have a drug program and a daycare program.

He certainly hasn't been running the smartest of campaigns. If he doesn't get his act together soon we could even be looking at a Liberal majority. Oh Lord.

That very well could be the case, Lib majority.

In Quebec, according to statistics, we tend to go with(who we think) will be the winner. It's why everyone suddenly turned orange last time. This time it looks like they are abandoning ship to the Libs. The niqab won, unfortunately. The Bloc tried to play it their way but people are fed up with them. They barely have a core anymore.

The issue I have with polls is that when support rises for one party, the pollsters have to make extrapolations that may not be accurate. They have to guess how much support has risen and in turn guess how much has decreased for other parties

To add to this, its why I didnt trust the ekos poll that said the tories were in majority territory. The polling is a guessing game especially with all the new ridings. And to add, we dont know the sample size or where that sample size is from for every poll. many use different sizes and locations
