Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

"A strong conviction that something must be done is the parent of many bad measures."

Tuesday, June 01, 2004 :::
 

The latest poll from Canada:
The Liberals are in a virtual tie with the Conservative party amid growing rancour within Liberal ranks and calls for Prime Minister Paul Martin to make drastic changes to his election campaign team.

A new public opinion survey by SES Research for CPAC -- Canada's parliamentary TV channel -- of 600 people on Friday and Saturday show Liberal support has plunged seven points to 34 per cent since the May 23 election call.

The Conservatives, led by Stephen Harper, are at 31 per cent, but with a plus and minus error of 4.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, pollster Nikita Nanos said the two parties are in a "statistical tie."
I'm going to disown the last half of that last paragraph -- it implies a journalist's understanding of statistics, which is to say, a very poor one. But these results look surprisingly good for the white-hats. One shouldn't get too excited, especially considering the other two relevant parties are the outright socialist NDP and the Liberal-but-less-sane Bloc Quebecois. But it's better than I expected.
