The polls are showing some interesting things (if you ignore the whole recent debate about how completely inaccurate they are now because they can't get representative samples anymore). For example, EKOS has a new poll out today that shows 47% believe the gov't's moving in the wrong direction, while 41% think it's going in the right direction, but a lot of that number consists of the Cons' base vote, where the number is closer to 80% - for everyone else, it's 10-20%. Also, the economy isn't registering as a key issue with most - and the Cons were planning to make that the central plank of their campaign.
