It's really hard to overstate how hugely favored conservatives were up until two months ago.
Here's the graph of Canadian polling between March 2023 and March 2025. (Reminder: blue is conservative.)

Hi Nina! There's been a couple of improved polls for Labor recently (ie a few at 52/48 2PP), but the weighted average of all polls in our model is more like 50.5/49.5, so closer than in 2022! We'll see if that trend continues for the ALP

The Greens have lost an MP in Prahran who took it from a margin of 30 votes to a safe seat. Can the Liberals reclaim it? I don't think so. poliq.au/2024/11/29/h... #auspol #vicpol #prahran
Our poll tracker shows the ALP and Coalition in a statistical dead heat. The momentum is not in the government's favour. This may increase the odds of an early election. The Ides of March! #auspol poliq.au/2024/12/03/w...
