The online survey of more than 1,000 Canadians, conducted exclusively for Postmedia News and Global Television, also shows Harper leading all party leaders when it comes to positive impressions, with 28 per cent of those surveyed voting favorably for the prime minister.


By comparison, when asked whether they had positive, negative or no impressions either way of the other leaders, just 19 per cent said NDP leader Thomas Mulcair had left a positive impression on them, followed by interim Liberal leader Bob Rae at 18 per cent.

The most relevant part of this article is that more people trust Harper, than either Mulcair or Rae.

You mean it's a bad thing that people want to shower after talking to Bob Rae?

Sixty per cent of those surveyed said they had no impression either way of the NDP leader. However, only 20 per cent had negative impressions of Mulcair — substantially fewer than the 48 per cent who had negative impressions of Harper.

Mulcair: 19% positive to 20% negative.
Harper: 28% positive to 48% negative.

I wouldn't get too excited about Harper's results at this point.

Sixty-four per cent of Liberal supporters and 57 per cent of NDP voters said they "strongly" or "somewhat" support their parties merging into a single party.

Long live the Liberal-Democrats! Who knows, maybe it'll be Bob Rae's platform.
