??? "Support for Stephen Harper's Conservatives has increased"

Stephen Harper and the Con's have gone from 33.6 to 34.4 hardly represents an increase. First, this is within the margin of error. So, as far as the poll is concerned it might as well be the other way around.

Also, this just the same old same-old.

It simply represents the 33% core of die-hard Con supporters, epi-centred in Alberta, that would support the Con's no matter what happens. The Poll means no more than they are still there.

Interesting though is the result:
"51.1 per cent of those surveyed said the country is moving in the right direction, while 38.2 per cent said it's moving in the wrong direction. Conservative supporters, respondents in Alberta and in the Atlantic region are most likely to agree that the country is moving in the right direction, the survey suggests.

Liberal supporters surveyed were more likely to report that the country is moving in the right direction (50.8 per cent) than the wrong direction (37.1 per cent). But they continue to be critical of the direction of the government, with 32.9 per cent saying the government is moving in the right direction and 52.2 per cent saying it's moving in the wrong direction."

This indicates:
Canadians think that Canada is doing ok not because of Harper and the Con's but despite Harper and the Con's.

I guess Harper's strategy of 'Zero Tolerance to Transparency' is working. If Canadians were to wake up to what Harper is doing to our country and its long lasting impact on us, our children and our children's children, I have confidence he and his Con's would get the boot forthwith.

It also indicates that:
This Poll is not being biased by a core of die-hard Liberal supporters.

Liberal supporters appear to be answering the Poll questions according to surrounding circumstances as they view them as opposed to simply die-hard clinging to a particular ideology as with the die hard Con supporters. Liberals open minded, pragmatic, flexible, facts oriented - as opposed to the Con stubborn extremist ideological stance - surprise - surprise.

Also, Liberal support seem to be tied to the Green support - now that is interesting.
