Personally, I think the doom and gloom is a deliberate strategy among many large "L" Liberal partisans to push progressive voters who may be soft Green/NDP supporters to the Liberal tent. Fear sells.

Yeah, some of these liberal partisans are a bit ott... anyway, just wondering if you could do a prediction of the German election? Or do you only do elections in English-speaking countries?

It's looking like you may have been right all along. I still feel the need to wait and see if this is real or down to the "weekend effect." Also need to see the online panels report this Tuesday, especially Léger to see what's really going on in Quebec. Kouvalis says he's in the field but I don't trust him in the least. He's Doug Ford's moneyball man and he's got an agenda to push. Plus, last election he claimed to have the NDP at 100 seats. The Rhino Party have better odds.

Turnout in a COVID election is going to be the wildcard regardless. Polls don't vote. People need to actually get out there and cast their ballots. There's going to be fewer stations and a lot of noise coming from the RW to discourage the non-RW from making good on their intentions.

I don't know what you study in school, but I think you should maybe consider a donation model for Scrimshaw Unscripted to put yourself through a social worker degree. As much as I adore his cats and enjoy seeing them update the projection, Maclean's -- home of "The Resistance" -- is too substandard of a publication to pay you the big bucks for polling analysis instead of Fournier. In that case, you could hang your shingle outside and counsel us terrified Liberals as a career. 😉
