The Polls Begin

A new Eskos poll out has the Liberals slipping to 25%, with the Conservatives at 36%. We’ll be seeing a flurry of these in the next few days and weeks, with or without an election call.
Paul Martin remains undeterred! He’s taking the initiative and asking Justice Gomery to “follow the money”.

The Liberal Party will call on Mr. Justice John Gomery today to investigate whether large sums of money allegedly paid to well- connected members for government sponsorship contracts ever made it to the party coffers.

Well, I suppose that make sense in a way… during his years as Finance Minister his job was only to shovel it out.

  1. The only income bracket where the liberals are beating the conservatives is people earning over $100K. Of all the figures on that poll, this one has to hurt them the most.

  2. Really interesting demographics there. 🙂
    I wonder why > $99 k still supports the Libs. Not that the Conservatives are all that far behind in that segment.
    Almost 20% Conservative in Que. and ahead of the Libs. I don’t know if anyone will beat the Bloc there though.
    I wonder if a new Federal right of center party might not be needed there. Similar to L�Action Democtratique.

  5. The greater than $99,000 are all the University professors ,union fixers, hospital administrators guvment cubicle bearucrats and every other dumbass limousine liberal who owes his or her very existance to a gigantic colossal government.
