Polls, polls, we've got polls

Globe and Mail Blog Post
Polls come, and polls go. Some are more trustworthy than others. Some days they are good for your team, some days much less so. Nick Nanos has a new poll out today. I'm not saying Nanos is more or less accurate than earlier polls from this week or if there are any "trends" in the poll. Way too early and, as Tim will tell you, I'm not that smart.
 
An interesting - if ultimately completely irrelevant - observation on the poll: if you run the numbers through a seat projection model, you get the following results:
 
Cons: 125
Libs: 122
NDP: 16
Bloc 45

 
To Tories and Dippers: Yes, you can take different polls from this week and get very different results. Go wild - those polls mean almost as little as this one. I'm not making any predictions based on this one poll. But for a campaign that has a long, long way to go, the results are still interesting.
