Canadians See Layton as “Most Honest” Leader

So amid all the sleaze of the Gomery Commission, Grewalgate, etc., Jack Layton is beginning to shine in the eyes of the average Canadian voter.

This confirms for me that the New Democrats are going to have substantially more seats following the next federal election.

Correct me if I’m wrong bigdude but didn’t Mr. Layton only get 27% in that poll, which isn’t all that much to begin with, and when compared isn’t much better than Harper at 19% and Martin at 18%, when considered that the choices of ‘I dont know’ and ‘None of them’ received 28%.

Besides based on the fact that Duceppe got 8% I’m willing to bet that this poll was a national average and to see how the seats will turn out in the next election you would really need to look at the numbers on a provincial basis. And add in the fact that in polls where people are asked how they will actually vote the NDP still comes about the same as the always do. I wouldn’t be popping the champagne for a significant NDP increase just yet.

Really IMO this poll was a bit of a joke and does nothing but show us what voter turn out already shows us – a large chunk of the Canadian populace just don’t care because the just don’t trust any of the players in Ottawa anymore period.
