The latest Ipsos Reid numbers show some very disturbing news for the Liberal Party, who despite controversy after controversy have not been able to gain traction in the polls. Why? Canadians don't like their leader. Can you ever get a second chance to make a first impression? These numbers come after his summer bus tour bonanza where he went coast to coast to coast shaking the hands of thousands of party activists. Even after spending all that money trying to make a second impression, still only 24% of Canadians think he would be the best Prime Minister and only 20% say he is the most trustworthy.
Based on these numbers, how many coalition members would prefer to have Jack Layton lead a Lib-Dip coalition government?
Best Prime Minister: Stephen Harper 43 per cent; Jack Layton 33; Michael Ignatieff 24.
Trustworthy: Harper 36 per cent; Layton 35; Ignatieff 20.
Gets things done: Harper 43 per cent; Layton 26; Ignatieff 21.
Open to the ideas of others: Layton 42 per cent; Harper 28; Ignatieff 22.
Has what it takes to lead Canada: Harper 43 per cent; Layton 26; Ignatieff 26.
Best to manage tough economic times: Harper 45 per cent; Layton 24; Ignatieff 24.
i simply find these numbers to be ludicrous and unreliable. i simply cannot accept that iggy is polling that high.

Was thinking the exact same thing Brad.
ReplyDeleteAre Liberals missing Dion yet?
ReplyDeleteThey must be calling a lot of latter drinkers at work.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Laytoon's numbers.
