This has been a CPC riding since 2006. I think the Liberals will make things interesting here tomorrow but the CPC should still hold the riding.

This one was probably over as soon as the last election finished. Van Kesteren was very well liked and it's a surprise to see him not run for another term in what would have been a guaranteed cakewalk for him.
Truth is though, the Conservatives could run a pizza with a blue hat and still soundly defeat the Liberals in this riding. Even without all the Liberal/Trudeau scandals and missteps this is a very blue riding and will stay so. I'll be watching closely to see if the NDP can take a bite out of the Liberals though :)

A mainstreet poll has the conservatives leading in this riding , left open by the retirement of longtime cpc mp Dave Van Kesten .

Stayed with them in their times of trouble? Prior to Y2K, this was primarily a *Liberal* riding, save landslide situations a la Mulroney '84. Of course, that's when everything was different in heartland far-SW Ontario, and the local Liberal machine's been ill-starred over the past generation or so--but still, that it's an open seat w/2015's Grit candidate re-offering (and *perhaps* more of a united-left situation if the Jagmeet NDP is truly more of a superfluous factor) must count for something. Then again, that the provincial riding defied NDP predictions on behalf of an easy PC majority must *also* count for something.

Even where it looks as if the Conservatives are vulnerable, this is a Conservative riding and has stayed with them in their times of trouble. Even with David van Kesteren gone, this is a fertile region for them and the Liberals should fall behind. A safer Conservative hold this time.

This is one of the most religious/evangelical ridings in Ontario, as well as a very working class one. With the Liberals' record the last 4 years and the big turn right among working class voters, the results from 2015 will almost certainly not be replicated and 2011 looks to be a better barometer (flipping the NDP and LPC results).
Unless Omstead runs away completely from the Liberal record including SNC-Lavalin and urban social issues, this should be a safe Conservative seat this time around (probably beating the 2018 provincial record), even with a new candidate for the blue team. The Trudeau record does not fit well here at all. The NDP has had good results recently (although they hit a brick wall in 2018) but they are polling too low to matter too much now.

It has been said time and again that incumbents garner about 5 points for their party and not much more. The results from 2015 for Chatham-Kent-Leamington is well within that margin. With CPC incumbent Dave Van Kesteren not running and Liberal candidate Katie Omstead re-offering, shouldn't this be listed as TCTC. I do agree that the CPC have the edge given that it is rural SW Ontario and the Liberals have a record to contend with (and a current major scandal). However, Ms Omstead would have connections and a team from 2015. Not to mention that this riding is a bit more urban than some neighboring vacated seats. I think TCTC is a more accurate prediction at this point, at least until we see how this race starts to unfold in the months ahead.

With Liberal support weaker than the last election, and the Conservatives putting forward a strong candidate in David Epp, this should be a hold for the Conservatives
