First Post-Campaign Poll Shows Liberals Needn't Fear New Election

The first Ontario poll released since the October 6th election shows Dalton McGuinty's Liberals have little to fear should their minority government fall and a new election be called.  Rather, it is the Progressive Conservatives and the NDP that risk losing political power, according to a new Innovative Research Group poll obtained by ontarionewswatch.com.

Five Lessons from the 2011 Federal Election

Five things to remember, coming out of the 2011 federal election.

Pesticide ban a win-win situation

But what about B.C.? Polling done in the province by Innovative Research Group and released in February, 2011 found support for a phase-out of “cosmetic” or non-essential pesticides was over 70 per cent. The research also found 72 per cent of British Columbians believe these pesticides pose a threat to the environment and nearly 70 per cent believe they threaten children. Perhaps most significantly, the study found support for the phase-out does not differ between rural and urban areas. The message for government couldn’t be clearer: No matter where they live in the province, the vast majority of British Columbians want an end to toxic lawn products.

Campaign attacks fail to drag down Tory support

Greg Lyle, the managing director with Innovative Research, tells 660News, while the various campaign controversies have struck a note with voters, the impact has not translated into many people changing their minds as to who they are going to vote for. Lyle says with this being the fourth federal vote in the last seven years, it appears many Canadians already know the political players and decided a long time ago as to who would get their 'X' at the ballot box.

No Major Changes in Horserace - Parties Look for Game Changer

So far the 2011 election campaign has been a lot of sound and fury with little impact on the actual horserace numbers. The Tories lead, or are tied for the lead, everywhere but in Quebec where the Bloc continues to enjoy a dominant position among French Quebecers.

What it will take to rock the vote

Sure, apathy is up. But the numbers indicate it’s not all bad newsIf the evidence from the past two elections isn’t entirely discouraging, the 2011 campaign hasn’t, so far, shown great potential for luring many more young adults out to vote. All of the main parties have aimed their platforms emphatically at middle-class parents, with fairly heavy emphasis on pensions. Policies of special interest to young voters don’t get much attention. Even the Liberals’ pledge of federal payments to help out with college and university costs is pitched more at parents than students. As for the general level of enthusiasm, Innovation Research Group’s Canada 20/20 online panel for Maclean’s and Rogers Media found only 16 per cent of Quebecers see this election as more interesting than most, a view shared by just 30 per cent in the rest of Canada.

 

April 15, 2011: Maclean's Harper won the English debate, Duceppe took home the French: poll
Real winner may be Layton, who was runner-up in both

According to a Maclean’s poll, Stephen Harper had the best performance in this week’s English-language leaders’ debate, while the Bloc’s Gilles Duceppe handily won in French. But the real victor may be Jack Layton, who impressed not only his NDP stalwarts, but also Greens, undecided voters, and even Liberals, a scenario pollster Greg Lyle calls “a Liberal nightmare.”

L’étoile de Jack Layton brille au Québec

Fort d’une popularité grandissante au Québec, le chef du NPD, Jack Layton, se retrouve devant un défi de taille : transformer son capital sympathie en intentions de vote.La bulle orange ne cesse de s'agrandir au Québec, comme l'ont confirmé les membres québécois du panel Canada 20/20 du Groupe de recherche Innovative dans un sondage Web réalisé du 8 au 11 avril. Lorsqu'on leur a demandé quel parti parlait le plus des questions leur tenant à cœur, les participants québécois ont répondu à 27 % en faveur du Nouveau parti démocratique - qui se permet même de devancer légèrement le Bloc québécois (26 %).

Harper still far from majority: poll

Meanwhile, a divide is forming between Quebec and the rest of CanadaDespite some high profile gaffes and billions in new spending promises, after two weeks on the campaign trail, the main parties barely budged in the minds of Canadian voters, according to a survey done for Maclean’s and 680 News. When asked which party people would vote for if there were an election today, 39 per cent of respondents on Innovative Research Group’s Canada 20/20 panel picked the Conservatives, virtually unchanged from 39.1 per cent after the first week of the campaign. The Liberals move up, but only slightly, to 28 per cent, from 27.5 per cent, while the NDP was flat at around 17 per cent
