Projection Update: Forum 10/16

The following poll has been added to the model:
Forum's 10/16 national poll (current weight among national polls: 31%)
For a full list of included polls, see previous Projection posts.

This Forum poll is the first one of the campaign with the Tories below 30% both nationally and in a public ON breakdown. They are also well behind the leading Liberals in the Atlantic and the 3rd place NDP in QC. It's just one poll, but the trend has been extremely negative for the Conservatives - consistently losing 1 point every 4 days since the start of October - and this merely shows that trend continuing.

The NDP is now ahead of the Liberals in the polling average in both BC and AB, in addition to MB/SK. The Liberals, on the other hand, are back up to 70 seats in the ON projection.

Projection as of the latest national poll (midpoint: October 16)
LIB - 134.0 (31.4%)

NDP - 41.1 (19.6%)
BQ - 35.7 (6.9%)
GRN - 1.5 (6.6%)
