This poll makes sense

Nationally: Cons 36 Libs 25 NDP 20 Bloc 12.6 Greens 5 Ontario: Cons 40 Libs 33 QC: Libs running third! behind the Cons and 35 points behind the bloc The article also suggested an election wouldn't happen until after the BC election on May 17 and the Queen's visit in late May. That's also when testimony at the sponsorship inquiry ends.

For the Liberals, 25 per cent nationally represents a significant drop — 15 percentage points lower than they received in EKOS' last poll in February and 11 percentage points lower than the popular vote they gained in last June's federal election. For the Tories, it's a 10-point climb since the February poll and seven percentage points higher than the 2004 popular vote nationwide.

So we can expect: a) things to get worse for the Libs as more testimony is revealed b) an election in late June Update: Scott Brison thinks it was all worth it. They fought the good fight, and there were a few "war profiteers" who took advantage of the poor, defenceless Liberals. So Mr. Credibility has completely missed the point, which is Liberals enriching other Liberals enriching the party.
