Ipsos' Record
Yesterday on Politics, Don Martin was tickled pink that Ipsos had Harper in majority territory. Surely the pundits should know which pollsters have a record of accuracy and which not. Check out this site from the last election. http://esm.ubc.ca/CA06/index.php Remember that SES was spot on in the last election http://www.sesresearch.com/main.asp.

Most of the papers do not even print Ipsos...Bricker is such a fabricator...he had everyone believing that john tory was almost even with dalton in the ontario race .....a complete farce....just ignore and hope ses comes soon...we need some good news. As far as other poll re do afghan people want us there...sure they want us there...they want our money...Leave money here is canada for poor people and kids...give to little indian kids who sniff gas for food.
Wow what a great post. Ipsos-reid has zero credibility.They always have the conservatives ahead by way more then they are.This is more dangerous then some might think.A small but signifigant percentage of the population waits to see who is leading in election polls then votes for the perceived winner because they want a seat at the table.If the Tories and grits are running neck and neck but Ipsoss reports a 5 point lead for the Tories these voters vote Tory pushing them over the edge.Can-west knows this and I dont think anybody has any trouble figuring out what team they are on.That is why they use Ipsos. They get the result they want.
so the fact that ipsos was able to replicate their findings from a week or so ago means nothing?
They were probably able to replicate their findings because they asked the same people!Just kidding 'I dont think it is that bad.It probably has something to do with the way they ask the question,or if the sample they are using really properly represents the Canadian people.Whatever it is they are always wrong.They are consistently out of touch with every other pollster and were so far off in the last Canadian and Ontario elections that they are laughable.SES is the pollster to watch.
Polls show trends.
LPC internal polls must have showed a CPC minority or possible Harper majority, otherwise IMO Dion would have pulled the plug.
whatever the poll, and this one means nothing, eventualy, they will be all like it, we are not, austriches, liberals are putting their head in the sand lately, the "all liberal leader become PM" is what the problem is, thats why dion is still there, lets face it, we need another leader, we do make mistakes, and he was a big one, lets pull up our pants, admit, pick another, and then attack relentlesly, and the harp is gone in the spring, or lets just hope this liberal leader follows the trend, and becomes PM, one, two, election, destroyed reputation for canada, economic disater, so on...right??? Yes Canada love though leader, but liberal ones, consie toughness seen as arogance, come on now, this asshole harp, and his dummies have made so many mistakes make J.Clark look like a saint, so why is he still there...wake up for shit sakes....
