Projection Update: Campaign Research 10/8-10

The following poll has been added to the model:
Campaign Research's 10/8-10 national poll (current weight among national polls: 17%)
For a full list of included polls, see previous Projection posts.

Note: This post will be updated after I review sub-regional adjustments using this poll's fine breakdown.
Update Oct. 13: I have now updated the subregional adjustments for ON and MB/SK based on this poll. I have also done the same for QC based on the breakdown (French only) for this week's Léger poll. The details of the adjustments can be found through this link.

Campaign Research has provided us with another large-sample poll, and it corroborates what other pollsters have seen this week: decreases for both the Tories and Liberals, and a surge by the NDP and Bloc. The only national difference is that the NDP surge is a bit more pronounced than in other polls. Accordingly, adding this poll to the projection helps the NDP a bit, but doesn't cause a big change.

Regionally:
- In Atlantic Canada, the NDP's strong showing and the Greens' weak showing in this poll allows the former to surpass the latter in the polling average for the first time in months.
- In QC, the Tories drop to 14%, their lowest level in any publicly released regional breakdown since I started tracking polls in the early summer - and probably for a long time before that. The all-important Liberal and BQ numbers are in line with the polling average.
- In ON, the Liberals eke out a 1% lead, compared to a tie in the last Campaign Research poll. However, the NDP at 20% will cost the Liberals in some Liberal-NDP races that are relevant again.
- In MB/SK, this is yet another poll showing the NDP challenging the Liberals for 2nd place.
- In BC, it's a three-way race between the Tories, NDP and Liberals. This poll is only the third public one placing the NDP (marginally) ahead of the Liberals since the start of the campaign (the others being DART 9/11 and EKOS 9/27-30). The Greens being 7 points behind the NDP is very problematic for them. The NDP is now back in the lead in all 5 of its Vancouver Island ridings.
