"The Liberal vote is evaporating,"

Another day, another poll. The latest poll released is from Ipsos-Reid.

WARNING: The following post may contain disheartening news for Liberal party members. It is recommended that all sharp objects and prescription medications be safely stored away from Liberal party members. Please do not read this alone, if you feel you cannot go on, or feel like you may hurt yourself please contact your doctor without delay.

Ipsos-Reid has a poll out that is painting a bleak picture for the Liberals.
Thirty-nine per cent of the respondents said they would vote Conservative, about the same number as a similar poll a week ago. Just 23 per cent of respondents said they would vote Liberal, a drop of four percentage points in a week while 18 per cent would pick the NDP, a gain for that party of three percentage points.

Support for the Green party also climbed in the week, by two percentage points up to 11 per cent.


There is a strong chance for the NDP to form the official opposition. Only 5 points separate the Liberals and the NDP.

In BC, the news is downright embarrassing for the Liberals.
The poll also finds that Liberals are doing particularly poorly in British Columbia, where they are now in a statistical tie with the Greens, behind both the Conservatives and the NDP. Ipsos found that 42 per cent of respondents in B.C. would vote Conservative, 31 per cent would vote NDP, 13 per cent would vote Liberal and 12 per cent would vote Green.

And in Ontario the Conservatives a still leading with 41% support compared to 28% for the Liberals.

Even in the environment, just as many respondents support Stephane Dion's plan as Stephen Harper.

Ouch.

We're better off with Harper.
