The bounce

Strategic Counsel has released another poll and the Conservative lead did not last long.

National
Liberals:
35%
Conservatives: 28%
New Democrats: 16%
Bloc Quebecois: 13%
Greens: 8%

Ontario
Liberals: 44%
Conservatives: 31%
New Democrats: 18%
Greens: 7%

Most of the move is in Ontario (I can't remember the exact number) but the story alluded to the Conservatives regaining the lead in British Columbia (caveat - that may just mean they are in the lead in the west and CTV over-generalized things when they painted the map).

The Conservatives are pretty much where they always have been but the soft NDP support could be leaking back to the Liberals.

Update: The Globe and Mail provides more information.

Quebec
Bloc Quebecois: 50%
Liberals: 30%

However, the Conservatives have strengthened in the West (42% - 25% - 20%) which have things as a dead heat in the "ROC" (36% - 37% - 18%). From that it is pretty clear that NDP "strategic voting" has collapsed their support in BC and put the Conservatives back out in front...when will they ever learn?
