Looks like a new Corporate Research Poll

"Liberals are now averaging just 44.5 per cent support, their worst performance in the region in almost two years. The Conservatives, at 26 per cent, are putting up their best numbers since then. And the NDP, at 20 per cent, is at its highest level of support since last fall."

Yeah, NDP won't have any seat. Early vote was counted in Lewis Point and Liberals won by 109 votes.

NDP has been having it really rough in Atlantic Canada in recent years.

Well, honestly, they deserve it. Follow the Green strategy. Focus totally on your leader and get it elected. Don't run him in a random rural or suburban riding (like Cardy or Redmond did).

Well, Cardy ran in Fredericton. But yeah, they should've learned their lesson.

Ironically, the AB Liberals seem to have learned it. CBC does a little "where the leaders are" article every day, and Swann is door knocking in his riding most of the time.

The NDP did not learn from the failures in NB, and the success of the Greens. The problem is the party is trying to run a full campaign and you just can't really do that with no seats. Also the NDP in both NB and PEI were polling much stronger before the election was called then they did come vote day.
