June 2011 Polling

Here are your poll results for the month of June. It was a month with some political drama on Parliament Hill, but also a month where general interest in politics declined after a convincing Tory majority victory. A number of Blogging Tories are taking vacations from writing, as people's interest has turned to enjoying their summer. Below are some polls about Rob Ford and the Gay Pride Parade, the post office back to work legislation, and a few questions about new Liberal leader Bob Rae.
