mirror Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Eleven-point Liberal poll lead has observers pointing fingers at Harper One poll is understandable however I do detect a bit of a trend here. Conservatives it's time to lose him if you get my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck E Stan Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Pollara poll headed by Michael Marzolini, who was once the Liberals' pollster. Maybe Mikey couldn't get an advertising contract,so he went into the polling business. This poll should definately be taked with a shaker of salt.

err Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Eleven-point Liberal poll lead has observers pointing fingers at Harper One poll is understandable however I do detect a bit of a trend here. Conservatives it's time to lose him if you get my drift. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think the Conservative/Reform/Alliance party should keep Harper in charge... It'll help spare the Canadian public from right-wing Conservative/Reform/Alliance policies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how many of these polls are actually push polls? And of course polls are an attempt to manipulate people as well. We really are a bunch of sheep and like to go with the winner. Success breds success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shady Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Conservatives it's time to lose him if you get my drift I'm still trying to figure out why the focus by the media has been on Stephen Harper instead of the corruptor-in-chief Paul Martin? There's Nixonian type conduct going on in Ottawa, and has been for several years, yet the discussion seems to be centered on whether Stephen Harper is good for the Conservative Party. Give me a break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirror Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Because the Gomery commission is dealing with old news - the Chretien regime. In case you hadn't noticed he hasn't been there for a while. My hunch is that Martin is coming out unscathed and will rock and roll into another Liberal majority government. Imagine 5 Liberal governments in a row! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hunch is that Martin is coming out unscathed and will rock and roll into another Liberal majority government. Imagine 5 Liberal governments in a row! It's not old news, and Martin was the Finance Minister at the time. I give him credit that he's been able to convince the mainstream media to shift attention away from it, but it's gonna rear its ugly head come the next election. And no, I cannot imagine another majority liberal government. How much more destruction can they bring to our country before being properly dealt with? This country isn't a democracy, it's a dictatorship, headed by Chretien/Martin. Martin is just continuing Chretien's legacy, or lack thereof. But we shall see.

Canuck E Stan Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Polls were being fed to us a couple of months back a week after they were taken. This poll was taken on JUNE4-8, how come they waited to release it 6 weeks later? Seems like some Liberal media hanky panky going on here.

mirror Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 That is strange, and good that you spotted that, however it appears that it is a typo: Pollara poll suggests solid Liberal lead The survey of 1,259 Canadians was conducted between July 4 and 8.

Riverwind Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Polls were being fed to us a couple of months back a week after they were taken. This poll was taken on JUNE4-8, how come they waited to release it 6 weeks later? Seems like some Liberal media hanky panky going on here.Different polling companies have different release schedules - Decima polls seem to come out right away, Pollara always takes awhile. Polls that are are not sponsered by media outlets tend to take longer to be published. I suspect the reason is the polling companies prefer to sell the results to people who are willing to pay for early access. In other words, don't assume conspiracy when simpler explainations exist.

Canuck E Stan Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 Why would the media even mention a poll that was 6 weeks old and make it a "news" story when there were more recent polls taken well after this one.? This poll story should never have gotten the coverage it did. It should have gone straight to the can. That's why I'm suspicious about it being played up the way it was.

mirror Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 It was a TYPO. The dates are actually July 4-8 and NOT Jun 4-8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
