There have been some significant changes in the numbers.  I only did the round up of the projections two days ago.   So what has changed?

First off, the range of results is much wider than it was a couple of days ago.  We had an 8 seat variation in the Conservatives, now it is 21 seats.   For the Liberals it has gone from 14 to 21, the Bloc 7 to 12, and the NDP remained at a 7 seat variation.

Overall, the Conservatives and Bloc are down and the Liberals and NDP are up.  

Election Alamanc has the Bloc dropping to 38 seats and Liberals at 94.   Ekos has the Conservatives at 131 seats and Liberals at 93.  These predictions are an indication of how much of a shift there has been in the thinking of some people.

Too Close to Call and DemocraticSpace do not have new projections since Wednesday.
