Ipsos 40% poll... we're UP in Atlantic Canada
Yes, it's just another poll, and the only one that really counts is the one at the ballot box on election day... however, there's one item of note that has been missed in all the discussions thus far.
If you take the current numbers, and look at the Atlantic Region, while comparing them to the actual election numbers from Jan. 23, 2006, they're showing that we're either UP slightly, or at least HOLDING in the Atlantic provinces... depending, of course, on how the margin of error swings. So much for all the "anger" over the Atlantic Accord, and all of Danny William's bluster.
Either way, I think that's good news for us. (it should be noted that the same poll also shows a 2% upswing in the Liberal vote, with the NDP and the Greens both showing a loss of support... sorry Lizzy May!)

you have to take the atlantic numbers with a huge grain of salt because the MOE is over 12. You really can't make any huge conclusion either way based on that.

I agree. A MOE of 12 basically says they don't know. Ipsos should not even report 'findings' like this. Makes me question how good this poll was in the first place...
