| Description | OTTAWA -- Public perceptions of integrity, accountability and economic stewardship are all taking a hit as the Harper Conservatives enter their third year in power, a new poll suggests.
Overall satisfaction with the minority Tory government dropped 13 percentage points between December and May, according to the Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey. The online poll of 3,565 Canadians indicates satisfaction fell to 40 per cent from 53 per cent - with majority dissatisfaction in every region of the country except Alberta.
Various opinion polls have shown the Conservatives and Liberals stalled for months in a dead heat, well short of majority support territory. But Harris-Decima pollster Bruce Anderson said Thursday that the underlying satisfaction numbers had previously showed some latent Tory strength. The latest Mood of the Nation survey, he said, suggests "that this advantage has dissipated markedly." |
