that was another 18 hours of sleep. almost. i got up to eat. hopefully, i'm awake....

that angus reid online "poll" is a good example of how the media uses "polling" as propaganda to further it's aims.

i can't say if trudeau's approval rating has fallen below 50%. you'd need to do some polling to determine if that is true or not.

but, the media coverage is intense. every paper - and this is distorted by the fact that there are only a handful of media companies in this country - is screaming it across headlines. it is fact. after all, it is a poll.

but, polls are not facts.

and, it is not a poll, either.

i would suspect that it is probably true that trudeau's numbers have been on a downward trend over the last several months, due to many, many factors - including ennui. whether the numbers have crossed 50% or not is not particularly important, either, as one only requires ~35% to win a majority government, in this country. i'm not exactly disputing the narrative.

i'm just pointing out the process.

this is right-wing media propaganda. stated simply.

(and, angus reid 's track record is so bad that they should not even be consulted any more. they have repeatedly not even been close.)
