Electionprediction.org moves Newmarket-Aurora from "too close to call" to Conservative
Electionprediction.org is now calling this riding for the Conservative Party. This is huge because in the past this site has been very accurate (95%+). This is early to make this call and is likely a reflection of the national numbers and trends in the region. As volunteers though, we must continue to campaign like we are behind as it will still be a very close race. Don't let up Newmarket-Aurora! Having said that, this is encouraging news for the party and for Lois Brown with only a few weeks left to go in this campaign.
Democratic Space is currently projecting the following seat count:
CPC 150
Liberal: 86
NDP: 30
Green: 0
BQ: 40
On that site, Newmarket-Aurora has moved back to "question mark" after being previously called Conservative.
A new poll from the CBC today has the Conservative Party with a 16 point lead over the Liberals. Clearly momentum is still with Harper (as well as May/Layton) as October 14 is coming very quickly.
