A new COMPAS poll finds that if an election were held today the Conservatives would win. But that’s without factoring in the anti-Conservative media ruining their chances after an election is called.
So, pre-media-ruining-their-chances:
Conservatives – 34 percent
Liberals – 30 percent
Not much of a gap, considering the circumstances, and those incredible odds of winning against a state-run media and other liberal media bent on electing liberal-left governments.
But the amazing thing is that the liberal media has managed to turn this into an “all political parties are corrupt” thing, and ipso facto, that’s what the ever-gullible and obedient Canadian public believes—or at least that’s what they believe in the vacuum of a conservative leadership that could and should convince them otherwise.
The poll also found a majority of the electorate believes politicians and politics are corrupt. Sixty-two per cent of Canadians said the kickbacks to the Liberal party alleged at the Gomery inquiry “serve to reinforce my belief that politics and politicians are corrupt.” Seventy-seven per cent of respondents in Quebec said they believe politicians to be generally corrupt.
[…] Two weeks ago, prior to some of the more startling Gomery revelations, the Liberals were leading in popular support: 37% versus 29% for the Conservatives.
CTV is reporting on another poll, this one by Ipsos-Reid, conducted for CTV and The Globe and Mail.
Highlights of that poll:
Nationally: 36 per cent of decided voters would vote Conservative, up six points since the previous poll. Liberal support remains unchanged at 27 per cent. And 15 per cent would vote NDP, a four-point drop.
In Ontario: Conservative Party support reached 39 per cent, a seven-point rise. Liberals have 33 per cent, a one-point drop.
Trust: As for which party leader is more trusted, Opposition Leader Stephen Harper beat out Martin, but on who would make the better prime minister, the positions were reversed.
A poll last week conducted for the state-run CBC (so that would be a taxpayer-funded poll) had these findings:
The poll shows that nationally, with undecided voters factored in:
Stephen Harper’s Conservatives are supported by 33 per cent of Canadians.
Paul Martin’s Liberals, who currently hold a minority government, are the choice of 27 per cent.
The New Democratic Party under Jack Layton has 24 per cent.
