Conservatives projected to equal the sum of Liberal + NDP in the popular vote. When was the last time they were that popular? Brian Mulroney? That wasn’t even the same Conservative party, but people seem to have forgotten that.
I would argue conservatives voters are more likely to answer the polls calls as they want to “send a message”
Historically this very incorrect, and most of the Conservatives I know don’t trust the polls even if the CPC is ahead and so have no desire to participate.
So do you have anything to actually back that statement up, or is it just a feeling?
Perhaps, but that seems unlikely to have changed so much since last year. Something else has shifted to make Poilievre and the Cons seem more acceptable to people than they did. Perhaps their party leader has learned to stop saying ridiculously stupid things in public quite so often. Excepting those carefully selected ridiculous things which have proved popular of course, such as “axe the tax” and “common sense.”

Also phones scare us.
