Leadership is usually what drives a political campaign. Layton's leadership style seems to have caught fire with Canadians and is now challenging Harper for best choice to lead the country. Forum Poll released today Best Prime Minister Layton - 33% Harper - 32% Ignatieff - 14% Nanos who have been playing catch up with the other pollsters will be releasing their Leadership Index shortly. Their last index several days ago now showed the following, but Layton has been narrowing the gap: Harper - 105.7 Layton - 73.2 Ignatieff - 40.5 Duceppe - 5.3

Biased corporate media, in favour of the socialists. Best joke today!

And as well Nanos has been lagging the rest of the polling firms in what's going on out there with this orange crush.

Layton can handle himself, and is talking more and more about becoming prime minister - there could be a new dawn Canadians will be awakening to on Tuesday, May 3.

Harper still doesn't get it - Canadians are fed up with 'tea baggers' dirty tricks. This is going to cost the Cons even more votes. No wonder the Cons are sinking in the polls as well.

Here's the crux of the problem for the Cons. It is now Layton who Canadians want as their leader as this just released Forum poll points out so voters are beginning to tune Harper out. Forum Leadership Index for Best Prime Minister Layton - 33% Harper - 32% Ignatieff - 14% And Cons have confirmed privately that their support is caving into the orange wave in BC.

Look at the panic in their eyes. Unfortunately for Ivison he doesn't really have a good grasp on what is going on out there. It is now way too late to turn back this orange crush now, as we are moving into the royal wedding coverage. The right has blown it big time. It's over for Harper folks. Nobody knows whether or not the NDP will get a majority at this point but it is definitely over for Harper.

The orange wave has turned into a tsunami now rocketing across the country. With the wind at their backs, the NDP has the momentum to possibly win a majority government? Will it happen? Latest poll is showing the NDP could be statistically tied with the Cons 31% - 34% Craig Oliver just said on CTV that the Cons have confirmed privately the NDP is making huge strides in BC. http://www.hilltimes.com/dailyupdate/view/grits_set_to_lose_longheld_bastions_in_montreal_and_toronto_to_ndp_dramatic_new_forum_research_survey_says_04-27-2011

Shady is correct as usual. There are some hysterical political leaders out there right now. No 1 is Harper No 2 is Ignatieff No 3 is Duceppe

I realize this is now dated but from today's Forum Poll Layton is definitely closing in on Harper Cons - 137 seats, Down 6 seats NDP - 108 seats, Up 71 seats Libs - 60 seats, Down 17 seats Bloc - 3 seats, Down 46 seats

There is a rumour going around that a couple of pollsters are holding their results because there is a new leader. Remember this is only a rumour and may not be factual.

Maybe it is the sort of Canada that most Canadians have been wanting all the time.

No, it's a brand new Forum poll showing the NDP within 3% of the Cons, and the margin of error is probably around 3%, so the NDP and the Cons may well be statistically tied for first place. http://www.hilltimes.com/dailyupdate/view/grits_set_to_lose_longheld_bastions_in_montreal_and_toronto_to_ndp_dramatic_new_forum_research_survey_says_04-27-2011

Remember it's all about who has the momentum Forum Poll Cons - 34%, Down 2% NDP - 31% Libs - 22%

It's looks like it's over for Harper and Jack Layton will win the most number of seats - latest poll to follow shortly.

Wait until you see the latest poll - Harper is so dead!

The way the Jack has climbed abord his orange rocketship Harper is going to be lucky to eek out a minority. Even that is in doubt now.

Harper's in full-blown panic mode now. As if anyone is listening to that windbag anymore.

Finally even people like Dobbin have clued into what is taking place.

Jack'as talking about being prime minister at all his campaign rallies now.

Many nations have minority governments and they appear to work just fine. What is the problem with our minority governments in Canada? More and more Canadians are coming to the conclusion the problem is Stephen Harper who does not respect the other parties in Parliament. Harper needs to go.
