The
Toronto Star presents results of poll prepared by Angus Reid, which shows that Stephen Harper is slowly increasing his lead over Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff as the best leader for the country.
[The] survey shows 27 per cent of Canadians think Harper is the best choice for prime minister, with 24 per cent preferring Ignatieff.
Last month, the two leaders were in a virtual tie, with Ignatieff slightly ahead at 28 per cent compared with Harper at 27 per cent nationally.
Party support for the Conservatives is also slightly on the rise.
The Conservatives are at 39 per cent support nationally, compared with 30 per cent for the Liberals, 17 per cent for the NDP, 9 per cent for the Bloc and 5 per cent for the Greens. In the Oct. 14 election, the Tories garnered 37.6 per cent of the vote.
Finally...
Only 20 per cent of respondents said Ignatieff could manage the economy effectively, compared with 34 per cent for Harper.

The new leader "bump" Iggy got has started to disappear. Read the comments, even though it is the Liberal Star, people are calling them on their biased reporting of the results.
The longer Iggy goes on his 'talking tour' so Canadians get to know him,
the lower his/Liberal numbers will go.
He has presented himself, to us commoners, as royalty,
at a time when Canadians are really questioning the monarchy in Canada.
Will Iggy last as long as Dion did?
