Let’s face it – no one’s paying attention to politics over the summer, save perhaps political blog geeks like myself. So I took a break from the monthly poll soup updates.

However, things are heating up again, and we were treated to a barrage of polls this week, making this a good time to survey the lay of the land:

Angus Reid (Sept 1-2, n = 1000 online)

CPC 33%
Lib 32%
NDP 19%
BQ 9%
GP 7%

47% happy with the way the federal government has handled the economic crisis, with 45% unhappy

Strategic Counsel (Sept 3-6, n = 1000)

CPC 35%
Lib 30%
NDP 14%
BQ 12%
GP 9%

Ekos (Sept 2-8, n=2825 demon dialed)

CPC 34.2%
Lib 30.8%

28% prefer fall election, 72% want it later

Nanos (Aug 28 – Sept 2, n = 1000)

CPC 37.5%

Leger also released some Quebec numbers this week – the Bloc is up on the Libs 35% to 30%, with the NDP and Tories tied at 16% each
