A few remarks...
This poll suggests things are beginning to stabilize, with no change in Quebec (for the second day), no change in Ontario and no change or more than 1 seat per party in any other region.
Elizabeth May pulls back into the lead in this update, despite our slightly-revised, slightly-less-favourable formula for her circumstances. The model shows May at 36.7% and the NDP at 35.9%. Due to the Conservative collapse in Atlantic Canada in recent polls, it shows MacKay at 26.7%.
Today for the first time, a crude graphic to show you were the projections have moved since we started a week ago:
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.
NOTE: These projections do not reflect the wishes, nor predictions, of the author. They are based on simple math using the criteria outlined here and here.
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.

oops, posted this in the wrong place the first time. On the Canada Election project site, someone said ATV had a poll that had McKay winning and May third.
That very well may be, unfortunately my model doesn't allow for individual riding polls and there are bound to be errors at the riding level as a result. The more credible number is the national projection, the more localized you get, the less accurate the projection becomes.
I read the other day that Conservatives usualy score two points higher on election day than in the polls. Does anyone know if that is the case?
Parties without a national organization (i.e. the conservative parties in the 1997, 2000 elections) tend to underperform because they don't have get-out-the-vote organizations.
Well, I'd wager the third seat in the Atlantic region would likely have to be Avalon or Central Nova.
Stop looking a polls, look out the window instead.
All financial experts agree with Harper -- Dion and Layton look like panicky fools. The National Post (no suprise) and the Globe & Mail (huge surprise) endorse Harper. And the Great Ignatieff himself wants the Dion's carbon tax to be shelved until the economy gets better (read, forever).
Harper is up, Dion is down. Oh, that's why.
