Conservatives 39%
Liberals 27%
NDP 12%
Green 12%
The Liberals constant abstentions must have pushed the Tories ahead. It's true what they say, Canadians prefer a real Tory to a Tory-lite(think Mulroney v. Turner). With the Afghanistan issue settled(the Liberals are now accepting 2011 as an end date) and the Grits willing to let the budget pass through, I can only see the prospects of a Conservative majority growing.
Interesting to note, on every issue mentioned in the poll(from military to economy), the Tories maintain a large lead on the Liberals. In addition, Harper's popularity is 40% compared to 15% for Dion.
Just one poll, others have it closer, but interesting nonetheless. |
