A little bit of this, and a little bit of that…

The Liberals have been fairly silent again today. Once again, Harper’s pushing everyone else to the back pages:

• As we pointed out a while ago, income splitting is in the CPC’s future. I’m going to have to get a spouse.
• The CPC also wants to dole out money for you to become a baby-maker. I love money. I love money way better than I love the government setting up daycare franchises. But, hey, that’s just me.
• Layton loves private health care. Whoda thunk it? (And yeah, I know, I’m way behind the ball on this. Exams and stuff. Life isn’t all fun and games, you know.)
• And then, you know, we had some Nazis in Quebec or something.

I guess that’s about it. Oh, one other thing: that Strategic Counsel poll makes no sense. None. Two off-the-cuff, utterly uninformed guesses: No one’s paying atention yet. The margin of error is unusually large.

Speaking of which, everybody remember: the SES nightly tracking poll is now released SEVEN days a week, at 2pm every day. And it is like crack.

But who likes polls anyway?

Things that make you go

hmmmmmm.

It’s a 3-day rolling poll…  so this would be the first release to be, I believe, fully after the GST announcment.  And, yet, what do we see?  A drop in CPC support.

I’m betting there are more than a few people in the Tory camp scratching their heads today.

New Poll

Pollara has a new poll.

Ah, fuck it.  There are tonnes of new polls.  And who am I to try to top CalgaryGrit’s comprehensive round-up w/ commentary?

A Lazy Saturday Round-Up

Polls:

• Ekos says possible Liberal majority. Reasons for disbelief: I find the B.C. surge for the Liberals somewhat surprising.
• Ipsos-Reid has very different findings. Reasons for disbelief: a) the poll finds that voters are becoming comfortable with Harper (just wait until those attack ads start running; those ALWAYS work) and, b) Ipsos finds that voters are unhappy with Liberal spending (oh, c’mon, does anyone really follow the news these days?).

And, finally, maybe there IS a hidden agenda. I know, I know. I’m shocked. I, too, had begun to think that “conservative policy” had become oxymoronic. But Greg Staples has heard that the Conservatives might be into family income splitting. Surprise!
