Ekos Poll: Coalition Support Shrinking

2008 - 2010 When campaigns take place voters send a message. Who is afraid of the message?


Why did the Liberal Party have 29 Liberals fail to show up for work and vote? Facebook Group here.

Question:

All things considered would you say the Government of Canada is moving in the right or in the wrong direction?

National 45% (Right Direction) 44% (Wrong Direction) 11% DK

Regional - Right Direction
  • BC 52%
  • AB 53%
  • MB/SK 57%
  • ON 45%
  • QC 35%
  • ATL 47%
Gender - Right Direction
  • Male 48%
  • Female 43%
Age - Right Direction
  • < 25     48%
  • 25-44   44%
  • 45-64    42%
  • 65+       54%
Education - Right Direction
  • Highschool or less   47%
  • College or Cegep      49%
  • University or higher  41%

The numbers show strong support across every region except Quebec. The coalition parties are losing control of the message in an attempt to punish or create a scandal.

The only problem with your piece is that it is based on an EKOS poll...

IM,
Ekos can't bury the good news for us and bad news for the three stooges. Did you read the comments from the Poll. Yikes sounds like the LPOC press room wrote it.

37% of LPOC voters believe CPC are headin in right direction. 81% of base is on board, Ontario is tied with MOE.

I think the Bloc are worried about the Olympic Spirit, nationalism and Bouchard.

Alberta should spend some money in advertising in the QC papers about how much money is sent in equalization payments from those provincial resources for the benefit of Quebec social programs.

H.S,
I hope Canadians show disgust for the Liberals
