Don't Trust the Polls - Remember How Wrong They Were in 2006

Here is a disturbing poll result. It is a post English debate ayalysis. I am disappointed, not because Dion did not win and Harper did. There is some silver lining in that Harper did lose ground during the debate because 36% of viewers had a worse opinion of him and only 29% improved their opinion of him.

May and Layton were the big winners of the English debates...hands down. Duceppe impressed and Dion held his own and got to show us who he is without the "advantage of Puffins and Harper's personal attack ads on him.

The disappointment is that the poll is apparently based on opinions formed after only watching the first hour of the debate. If this is true the results are suspect and the methodology is to.

That would be like watching the first half of the movie and then doing a review of the whole movie without seeing it all. Not good. Say it ain’t so Ipsos Reid.

  1. When an actor in a movie sucks, it doesn't matter whether you saw him at the beginning, the middle or the end of the movie. He still sucks.

    In a country of 32 million, do we still have to elect PMs that speak only one language well? If Mr. Dion is the best the Libs can do for a communicator, I think they need to go back to the drawing board.

    Alberta has not done well with any Quebec Prime Ministers, Tory or Lib, but electing one who UP FRONT wants to tax the hell out of our bread and butter Oil and Gas companies in Alberta while mangling the language we predominantly speak......why would any Albertan short of someone who is an expert short-seller on the TSE want to vote for this guy?

    Ken: read his lips - Dion wants to hammer the Alberta economy. You live here. Connect the dots!!!

  2. Crackers - Harper is already hurting Alberta and interfering with the markets. Bitumen exports only if Harper personally approves them is not sound Conservative principled based policy.

    Next he slips in that Ottawa will impose nuclear plants into Alberta. Tht is Alberta's decision - not Stephen Harper's.

    This is Premier Stelmach's view of Harper - not just mine. INteresting that Stelmach feels compelled to intervene in the federal election - BECAUSE Harper is screwing Alberta.

    Harper has already screwed Alberta by his enormous pre-election spending spree. Since June Harper has dumped $951 per person into Quebec, $647 per person into Ontario. Harper's spending in Alberta - where he has all the votes and takes us for granted...$15 per person since June. Shame on him.

    Are you still lovin' him Crackers?
