Liberal Minority Government 2021 - ????

First clue that Ekos is right out to lunch. PPC with 4%? No F-ing way. Maybe .4%. Take this poll with a huge dose of salt.
That’s not supported by evidence. PPC consistently poll at an average 2-3% across various firms, sometimes at 4%, occasionally at 1%, and very occasionally at 5%. There’s nothing to suggest their popular support is nearly as low as you say, even though it translates to nothing seats wise.

 
Today’s aggregate.

Another drop for CPC and LPC continues its climb.


Of note, the CPC is almost about to enter minority territory. Also a significant drop in percentage of chance to get a majority of seats. Now sitting at 87% as opposed to 99%. Also, at 54% of getting a majority gvt

Whatever reset PP was hoping for hasn’t materialized but he is still in winning territory for now.

A look at 338’s projections versus contemporaneous polling shows that their projections, quite reasonably, reflect a training aggregation of the last few weeks’ worth of polls. That’s cautious and produent, but it also means that very fast and significant swings - if they aren’t outliers - will lag in the projections. I think the 338 projections will see LPC and CPC co to he to converge for maybe another week yet, assuming the actual polling numbers stabilize at their current level of support.

In early March we’ll have a new liberal leader and PM. Days later, Trump’s promised auto, aluminum, and steel tariffs are to take effect. That may be contemporaneous with a writ drop.

The pollsters and projectionists are going to face a challenge in trying to keep up.
