Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola - Polls?
Anyone out there have any inclination of how this newly redesigned riding is shaping up? Comparisons to the old riding are being used (with Albas showing 55% support) but I sense that adding a good slice of downtown Kelowna could change the complexion of the riding. My bias is ABC, so I am interested in who the leading progressive is.

Vote strategically.
NDP has been second in this riding.

I'm ABTM so probably voting Liberal. I sure don't want an NDP MP, no way, no how. They are just awful.

"It took about 66 days for Canadians to figure out who the main challenger would be to (Conservative Leader) Stephen Harper, and it ended up being (Liberal Leader) Justin Trudeau," Nanos said. "The reality is that the NDP, although there's good will toward them, have been squeezed by strategic voters."
Nanos said the shift from NDP to Liberal support can be seen in the two parties' trend lines, which have been mirror images of each other in the last month.
"When the NDP went up, the Liberals went down, and when the Liberals went up, the NDP went down," he said. "So what we've seen is movement from the New Democrats towards the Liberals in order to block Stephen Harper."
So, because of the strategic voting movement your party is losing support but you still don't get it.

what are you saying George? That I should vote Conservative? Because if I ever vote NDP start stocking food immediately, as the zombie apocalypse is upon us.

Urbane, the NDP has been second in these ridings for a long time.
They are the bst vote as the Liberals are just the same od, same old.

Wow. Two polls out today have NDP in 3rd place in BC and dropping. Trudeau may be a steamroller. #elxn42

Be mindful of margin of error but latest Ipsos Reid conjures up comparisons to Liberal sweep of BC in 1968. Double digit lead. #elxn42

Don't know if anyone else has this perception, but to me it seems as though this Federal Election is about Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair... PERIOD. There have been no candidates from any of the three parties, knocking on doors in my neighborhood. It seems there has been very little reference to the local candidates who are seeking election to Parliament. We see lots of signs around the Central Okanagan, but aside from that, not much from any of them.

Re: Central Okanagan—Similkameen—Nicola - Polls?
I echo the concern that this election is really about leaders, not parties and their candidates. It's symptomatic of the way our government has been controlled for the past decade, but is also lazy reporting as it's not like you see anyone but the CBC shine a light on local candidates.

So the polls show the NDP leading in the Shuswap. Meaningless?

Yes. Meaningless. And should not influnce voters.
Should have better reasons then polls.
