The latest (July 30) Angus Reid poll has details on the momentum of the three leaders:
"Despite the increase in Grit support, the momentum numbers for Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff continue to worsen. His momentum score of -18 is five points worse than it was two weeks ago (13% say their opinion of Ignatieff has improved in the last month, while 31% say it has gotten worse).
Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s momentum score remained essentially unchanged from the last poll at -28 (one point worse from -27). That the momentum scores of the two leaders are so close represents a huge shift in political perceptions from as recently as February, when Ignatieff had a positive score of +7 compared to Harper’s -35.
New Democratic Party (NDP) leader Jack Layton stands at -15 (an improvement of two points from two weeks ago)."
Perhaps it is time for the Liberal Party to start giving voters some reasons for actually thinking that Michael Ignatieff might be a better leader than the rather shopworn-but-remarkably-resilient Harper?
