Canadians warming to Ignatieff, poll suggests

Globe-Canadian Press

OTTAWA — People seem to be gradually warming to Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff, but many still have a love-him-or-hate him view of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, a new poll suggests.

The Canadian Press/Harris-Decima survey indicates the two men have similar levels of support, but Mr. Harper's negative ratings are much higher.

It found that 44 per cent of respondents had a favourable view of Mr. Harper, while 45 per cent were negative.

Mr. Ignatieff got a favourable rating from 45 per cent, but only 26 per cent held a negative view.
