I agree with some of the other posters that the polls mean nothing right now. I think Candians can swing their vote quite quick in the month before an election.

For lack of a better description I think most Canadians would not want to change horses midstream during tough times worldwide.
I don't know if it did that much good, in the last poll where they ranked individual leaders, Ignatieff was basically in third place behind Jack Layton, and this was 3/4 of the way through the bus tour.

Plus the bus tour was about securing safe votes for the Liberal's they didn't do much in the way of hitting rural areas in Manitoba, Sask and Alberta, which is where the Conservatives did most of their bus tours before they won their election.

Right now the vote sag for the conservatives is more about the Conservatives fumbling on issues like the Long Gun Registry and the Census, and not about Ignatieff making headway with the average voter.
