Projection Update: DART 10/16, Nanos 10/15-17, Léger 10/13-15 QC Poll

The following polls have been added to the model:
DART's 10/16 national poll (current weight among national polls: 25%)
Nanos' 10/15-17 national poll (national results only; current weight among national polls: 22%)
Léger's 10/13-15 QC poll
For a full list of included polls, see previous Projection posts.

Note: I have not yet incorporated the Léger fine sub-QC breakdown into the projection. I'm also behind on adding the following information released earlier in the week: Nanos QC and ON breakdowns, Mainstreet Jonquière poll, Léger GTA poll and Forum QC breakdown. I hope to have an update this evening where I catch up on all this...

Today's DART poll shows little change from last week. It helps the Tories in the projection not because it shows a 4-point Tory national lead (the model accounts for DART's Tory lean), but because:
- the Tories are flat from last week, while other pollsters show them down, and
- the Tories swapped votes in AB for votes in ON.
This poll basically offsets the Forum poll conducted on the same day, released yesterday afternoon: taken together, those two polls have essentially no impact on the projection.

The Nanos tracker is mostly flat, except for a small Tory drop, consistent with other pollsters. Adding the Léger QC poll also had little impact, as its results are very similar to the QC polling average.
