A few remarks...
The Conservatives have, after enjoying a few strong days of polling, slipped back essentially to where they stood in my first projection 4 days ago (that projection showed 142-72-49-42-3-0), far from majority territory.
The race in Outremont, Quebec is one of the closest and volatile in this election according to the model. It has changed hands in every single projection so far. Presently, it shows as going Liberal by 0.3%.
In Ontario, both Nanos and Harris-Decima (two of our three new polls), show the Conservatives slipping into second place which has hurt their totals there. The NDP have also surged to 19 seats, thanks to a projected-near-sweep of Northern Ontario.
Despite a resurgance yesterday, the Liberals have slipped back to just two seats in British Columbia.
I'll continue to update daily until October 14. I welcome your suggestions if you think any aspect of the formula needs to be adjusted.
A question for readers (repeated)
There is a slight glitch right now for the projection model in those four ridings where a party is not contesting and endorsing another candidate. The base number for those ridings had the non-contesting party at 0, as they should be, but when the polling data is entered, that number moves, sometimes into negative territory.
Should I:
- Disregard the number for the non-contesting party (what I have been doing);
- Distribute the gain or loss in the same proportion as I did with the 2006 votes; or
- Distribute the gain or loss to the candidate the non-contesting party has endorsed?
I have reincarnated this old blog and will be following both the national as well as the local developments in the New Brunswick region leading up to the 2011 federal election.

5 NDP seats in Atlantic Canada. Do you see them picking one up in Nfld?
In Ontario, both Nanos and Harris-Decima (two of our three new polls), show the Conservatives slipping into second place which has hurt their totals there. The NDP have also surged to 19 seats, thanks to a projected-near-sweep of Northern Ontario.
What's your thoughts on this? Could Ian Brodie be right? Is a majority a non-starter for the Tories b/c of their lack of support in battleground ridings within the three main Canadian cities (Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver).
Three regions they desperately need to breakthrough in in order to go over the top. I'm not sure it is mathematically possible at the numbers they've been polling at the last two or three days? It should be an interesting week.
Do you see them picking one up in Nfld?
St John's East.
Nuna/Rob - This projection does show them winning St. John's East by a narrow margin. There are a number of pick up opportunities for the NDP - Central Nova, Dartmouth and South Shore-St. Margaret's among them.
NBT - Even as the CPC slips in polls, they remain well better positioned in Ontario than in 2006. This projection shows them picking up 5 seats in 905 over and above what they won in 2006, certainly not a breakthrough but still an improvement.
