Funny how the Liberals have been polling in a downward trend ever since the coronation of Iggy in May.
Iggy is worse than Dion, not a leader too;
Here are the national results (the differences from a Sept. 3-6 poll are in brackets):
* Conservatives: 41 per cent (+6) * Liberals, 28 per cent (-2) * NDP: 14 per cent (none) * Green Party: 9 per cent (none) * Bloc Quebecois: 9 per cent (-3)
The Strategic Counsel's Peter Donolo suggested the Liberals' low numbers reflect a strong desire by voters to avoid an election. Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff has repeatedly stated he can no longer support the government.
Donolo said the drop in support echoes a similar situation to when the party said it would form a coalition with the New Democrats to topple the Conservatives.
"It's people wanting stability, being really allergic to an election and feeling very anxious about it, and therefore gravitating towards the governing party," Donolo told CTV's Power Play. "And also, they're feeling like the opposition is playing political games. That might not be fair -- the opposition is doing what it ought to do, maybe, which is oppose -- but the optics have been lousy for Mr. Ignatieff."
