Canadian politics question about polls – Why is it that the polling results can keep changing from week to …

It seems polls keep changing – with one week the Conservative being close to the Liberals and then one week they are quite ahead. It does not make sense to me. People generally seem to always vote for the same party and don’t keep changing their minds. Considering Canada’s lack of interest in politics (ie. voting turnout) I find it surprising that any news about any political party can have such a profound effect and change people’s minds. Everyone I’ve spoken to either did not know there was a budget or did not know what was in it. I think people are a little smarter than flip-flopping their support weekly. Most don’t even know whats going and/or don’t seem to care enough to change their mind. There must be something wrong with how these polls are being conducted. What do you think?
