[maplesyrup]

Great news here for the NDP as this Compas poll confirms that the NDP is closing in on the Cons for Official Opposition.

Anger over sponsorship scandal fading: poll

The pollsters talked to 906 people over the weekend.

The survey is considered accurate to within about four percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

Compas pollsters say their numbers suggest what most analysts believe - that Quebec and B.C. will be the most hard-fought battlegrounds in the next election.

This election will be decided in Ontario which is the great unknown.

NDP is closing in on the Cons for Official Opposition.

WTF? (MapleSyrup's simple, naive, wishful thinking.)

See this website for realistic seat predictions:

2004 Federal Election Seat Predictions Check out BC. They've got 14 safe Tory seats.

The site is operated by university students so it tends to go for the status quo - little do they know how fickle Canadian voters can be.

Here's my prediction maplesyrup;

Liberals ----------- 162 seats

Conservatives --- 90 seats

Bloc ---------------- 45 seats

NDP ---------------- 11 seats

I know these results are disheartening for the Cons as once again it shows the NDP with the momentum and closing in on the Cons. I am prepared to forecast now that the NDP will become the Official Opposition when the votes are tallied after the next election. BTW the NDP are now 2% ahead of the Cons in Quebec.

Bloc 12%

Cons 27%, up 1%

Libs 39%, down 5%

NDP 20%, up 2%

Oth 3%

Wait for the election, these results are irrelevant. Once the election hits we will see who will gain government, or the opposition. Layton could do well, or burn, Harper could do well or burn. Remember the Quebec election, everybody said the Liberal's would lose, and they won a landslide majority.
