Worth noting that the polls in the link start mid-campaign (Harper called the election extra early). But also that in those "most major polls", there were few in which there was more than a 10-point spread btw/the three major parties. That is, while the NDP led in support in a lot of those polls, it was a tentative and qualified kind of lead in support--voters were antsy about the Cons, but were also uncertain about whether the NDP was the place to park their anti-Con vote. It was a "soft" lead, not a decisive one (and one that was probably heavily plumped by expectations of QC being, maybe, even more "in the bag" than it was in '11)--and it was because voters were still momentarily programmed to think of the Justin Libs as being more "recovery mode" than "victory mode"...The NDP entered the 2015 election campaign leading in most major polls.
