This article talks about how Liberals have narrowed the gap in the poles for the election coming up soon. The reason for this is that, according to the poles, the NDP lost support while the Liberals gained support. Support for Michael Ignatieff’s team jumped from 28.7 percent to 32.7 percent, while NDP support dropped to 15.9 per cent from 19.6 per cent. Bloc Quebecois is staying steady at 8.7 percent while Green Party support went from 4.1 percent to 3.7percent. Also, 21.7 percent of Canadians that were surveyed say that haven't decided which party they're going to vote for yet. “Most of the Liberal gains were in the Prairies, co-incidental with the tour of Michael Ignatieff and his announcement of his election platform."“This suggests that voters are becoming increasingly focused on the platforms and ideas proposed by the federal parties,” Says Mr. Nanos, the person taking the poles.I think the fact that people are switching their support from NDP to Liberal is very interesting. To me, the campaign is really only between the Conservatives and the Liberals so the fact that they're pretty close in the poles should make the actual election pretty close. I don't really have an opinion of who should win, considering I can't vote, but I'm sure that which ever party wins will probably do a good job of running the government.
