[excerpt]

Stephen Harper and the Con's die-hard supporters, epi-centre in Alberta, represent 33%. The recent Ekos poll is statistically in line with this. In other words, this Poll represents the die-hard support for the Con's and nothing more.

There is no spike, up-surge, increase in popularity, in this Poll and given that Canadians may very well be feeling good about themselves it is not being translated into support for Harper and the Con's.

This is particularly significant given the billions of dollars Harper and the Con's spent on the G8-20 precisely for partizan reasons and to boost Harper and Con popularity; and, Harper's making himself front and centre during the Queen's visit.

Also, if someone doesn't attribute 17% to the NDP then they run a big risk regarding any predictions made.

You do the math.
