bastard.logic: They’re (Still) Just Not That Into You
Sorry, Evangelicals: Only one in five Jewish Americans holds favorable views of those aligned with the Christian right, a category that includes most of Israel’s evangelical supporters. […] The survey, conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute and published April 3, asked Jewish respondents to rate the favorability of several religious

Hard-right conservatives will not like the findings of this poll: Fully 64 per cent, including a majority of Conservatives and wealthy people, say they are willing to shell out a bit more in taxes to protect social programs such as health care, pensions and access to higher education, all of
Continue readingDriving The Porcelain Bus: 4th Poll In A Month Has NDP Tied With Conservatives
A Léger Marketing poll for The Gazette and Le Devoir April 2-4 shows the following support among decided voters: NDP 33% Conservatives 32% Liberals 19% Green 8% [Bloc not listed but most likely about 6-7% nationally] In Quebec: NDP 47% (up 4 points since the election – up 19 points
Continue readingDriving The Porcelain Bus: 3 Polls Affirm NDP Tied With Conservatives
The other day I wrote about 2 polls that showed the NDP tied with Conservatives for support. A third poll with more recent data affirms this trend. Harris-Decima has released their poll results (March 22-April 2) that show: National support: Conservatives 34% NDP 32% (a statistical tie between the NDP
Continue readingDriving The Porcelain Bus: NDP Tied With Conservatives, And, Mulcair Doing Well
Two poll results from March (early March and then just after Mulcair won the leadership of the NDP), by Environics in early March and by Forum in late March, show the NDP tied with the Conservatives. The Environics poll from March 6-18, 2012, had the NDP and Conservatives tied at

Strange Bedfellows: Danielle Smith and Brian Mason imagined discussing voting strategy in the Legislature… Alberta politicians may not be exactly as illustrated … or as weird as reality! If you think the Alberta election campaign has been exciting up to now, just wait. Any minute now, someone’s going to start
Continue readingBlunt Objects: Forum Poll of Ontario: 34% PC, 30% Lib, 30% NDP
That’s a close race for sure, though despite tying the Liberals for second, the NDP remain in third place. Forum Research: Prog. Cons: 34% – 42 seats Ont. Liberal: 30% – 35 seats New Dems: 30% – 30 seats Greens – 5% This poll is actually more important than it
Continue readingBlunt Objects: Forum Poll Post-Mulcair: 35% Con, 35% NDP
Forum seems to always lead the trends these days. The above numbers are the highest the NDP have been since the late ’80’s or early ’90’s, a good sign for Thomas Mulcair. I’ve got the full results below: So it remains a Conservative minority, but only because the NDP are

In retrospect, maybe it wasn’t such a good idea for Alison Redford to call the election after a month of wall-to-wall scandal and controversy. Two more polls have been released today – let’s start with the bad news for Alison Redford. Leger Marketing confirms the statistical tie we saw in
Continue readingCalgaryGrit: Alberta Votes Day 2: Polls and Prostitutes
We were treated to a pair of Alberta election polls last night – both showing the PCs and Wildrose in a statistical tie. Given previous 2012 polls have shown Redford between 5 and 37 points ahead, this comes as a bit of a shock – though it’s not necessarily bad
Continue readingBlunt Objects: Forum, Nanos Polling in Ontario Battle it Out
Two polls provincially in Ontario talk about, the first one being Nanos’ Research poll (they did one in November as well that didn’t make the radar), and the next being Forum Research. Big, big differences in these polls. More than what’s normal, anyways. Let’s start with Nanos, which gives the
Continue readingCalgaryGrit: Alberta Poll Soup
The expectation in Alberta is that Alison Redford’s first budget will pass by March 21, with the writ dropped March 26 for an April 23 vote. As for the expected outcome, the polls are predicting…well…who knows? Five companies (ThinkHQ, Forum, ROI, Abacus, Leger) have released polls in 2012, with the
Continue readingBlunt Objects: Death of the CAQ, Return of the PQ?
That was certainly quick. A couple of months after François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) swallowed up the old Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ), and ended up with eight experienced members of l’Assemblée Nationale, the party has spent the last four polls from three different companies in third place, behind
Continue readingImpolitical: Early evening robocon
Polling on election fraud allegations…it’s going to happen, might as well take a looksy: “Canadians split on who’s to blame for robocalls: poll.” From Ipsos, it is said to be a “blended telephone and online poll this week of 3,154 Canadians…”(1001 telephone/2153 online). While the headline is playing up a

The ever-intrepid Corporate Research Associates, those who do basically all the polling for the Atlantic provinces provincially, are out with their newest quarterly numbers for all four provinces. Let’s start with Newfoundland and Labrador. PC: 54% (-6) NDP: 28% (+2) Liberal: 18% (+5) Not much change here, the Dunderdale PCs

If you need further proof that the robocalls scandal has either not hit its full stride yet, or has failed to capture the imagination of voters as a “true” scandal (despite its severity), you need not look further than Forum Research’s latest poll (changes from last Forum poll): Con: 37%
Continue readingBlunt Objects: Nanos, Robocalls, and Super Tuesday
Sorry for my lack of posting the past three days – but I haven’t missed much anyways. The big thing I did miss was the recent Nanos Research poll, showing for the second time in a row, the Liberals in second place. The topline numbers (and changes from the last
Continue readingBlunt Objects: EKOS Poll Shows Little Movement
There’s very little difference between the last EKOS poll and this one, despite the robocall controversy. The topline numbers (with changes from last poll) are as follows: Con: 31.5% (+0.1) NDP: 29.2% (-0.3) Liberal: 21.7% (-3.1) Bloc: 6.0% (-0.7) Green: 8.3% (+2.2) Other: 3.3% (+1.8) The biggest change, therefore, has

308.com graphic And it’s exactly the same as what happened in May 2011! This is going to be an uneventful by-election. While it is a riding poll – they’re not always to be trusted – and the campaign has really only just begun (Feb 12), I’m not surprised in
