Interesting Survey About Canadians...

...and their politicians:

Canadians don’t love politicians; they tolerate them, poll shows

"Canadians don’t find Prime Minister Stephen Harper as scary as they once did and are even starting to slightly warm up to the Liberals..."

Amazing, isn't it!!

"Under the heading of “acceptance,” the Conservatives were at 27 per cent in 2007, but have dropped to 23 per cent since then. The Liberals clocked in at 19 per cent four years ago and have fallen even further to 14 per cent. The NDP is holding solid at 21 per cent.

In 2007, 18 per cent of Canadians were “disgusted” with the Conservatives, and that number has climbed slightly to 22 per cent. The 30 per cent that felt that way about the Grits in 2007 has fallen off to 20 per cent. About 15 per cent were turned off by the NDP, but now it’s 9 per cent.

Under the heading of “fear,” 18 per cent of those polled back in 2007 said they were afraid of what Harper stood for, but that’s dipped to 13 per cent. Only 11 per cent said they were afraid of then Liberal leader Stéphane Dion. But the poll indicates he struck fear into the hearts of fewer Canadians than Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff does today at 15 per cent. Few Canadians are afraid of NDP Leader Jack Layton."

Hehehehehe. Poor Jack. Since his party is always in third place, we'll never get to hate or love him with a passion.

"Three per cent of those surveyed said they “love” Harper, up from 2 per cent in 2007, while only 1 per cent showed this level of affection for Ignatieff. One-fifth of Canucks profess their love for Layton, up from 4 per cent in 2007. The outcome was roughly the same for the parties."

Truth be told, I like the guy on a personal level, as much as you can like a politician, that is. It's just that his Party is so retro. Who wants to go back to that!!

Funny. They appear to have left the Bloc out.
