Liberals and NDP tied in New poll

[punked]

Could be a blip could be real movement. Anyway we look at it, it is something new in an otherwise rather boring election. The NDP have been one of the main features this election.

The New Democrats begin the fourth week of the campaign tied with the Liberals for second place, but their support could collapse by the time voters go to the polls, according to a new survey.

An Angus Reid poll shows one quarter of Canadians say they would vote for the New Democrats, an increase of four percentage points since early this month.

That puts the party in a tie for second place with the Liberals, who are also at 25 per cent after seeing their support drop by two percentage points over the same period.

so many polls... and as many different results, this one probably comes closet to a pool done by forum research which had the liberals at 25 and ndp at 22 then allowing for the + - factors...which poll do we believe, nanos, forum research, angus reid, ekos research, Ipsos, harris-decima...interesting that the pollster in this case considers the ndp a soft vote that won't be there on election day...but what if the ndp start polling ahead consistently would that vote harden and then turn into a flood of support as uncommitted voters jump on to band wagon...
