August 2011 Polling

Here are your poll results for the month of August. It was quite an eventful month with the passing of Jack Layton changing the landscape of Canadian politics. The HST was overturned in a referendum in BC prompting Christy Clark to flip flop yet again, this time on her pledge to get a fresh mandate from the people before the next scheduled election in 2013. What should be done to deal with the next recession? Can the NDP sustain its current level of support in the next election without Layton?

  1. With the ndp about to go against Jack's wishes and postpone a leadership convention, that will give Nycole an extra 3 months to prove she was a very bad choice as interim leader. Good news for Canadians.
