Nanos poll - gap narrows from 11 to 5

[daleo]

It looks like Dion cleaned up in both debates. Nanos has the race drawing close in their 3 day rolling average:
Con 35
Lib 30
NDP 18
BQ 10
GRE 8

If one computes the single day result from last night (a 400 person subset, so large MOE):
Con 32
Lib 38
NDP 15
BQ 10
GRE 10

The amusing thing, if this result was to hold, would be that the Liberals would be the ones nearing majority territory. It could be an outlier poll, but I think much of this effect will be lasting. Harper performed poorly, in my opinion. Dion performed pretty well, especially given the low expectations that Conservative advertising had planted in many people's minds.

The last ten days of the campaign should be interesting. Expect to see frantic attacks on Dion now.
