New EKOS polls is out (you can find the full report here) and has us sitting at 13% up a bit at one of our highest levels since EKOS introduced the other option. Taking margin of error into account its where we have been sitting for months. In fact (going by the weekly tracking graph in this report) we have been hovering above 10% since November of last year and we're working our way towards 20% in BC.

One in ten Canadians have consistently throughout 2010 selected the Green Party of Canada as their first choice even when given an true none of the above option with Other. This poll also pegged the GPC's second choice support at 11%.

What's neat about that is when you combine our first and second choice support nearly one out of every four Canadians thinks we are the best or second best party to represent them. 24% represents a massive opportunity, however it also represents a mountain effort since to reach a result even half that high we need to be IDing voters.

We can't wait for the writ to be dropped we need to start now. Personally I'm going to recommit to phone canvassing SGI as well as canvassing in my home riding of Ottawa Vanier. It's fairly likely that a federal election is on the horizon I suggest that if your EDA has not started door-to-door and phone canvassing that you get going as soon as possible.
