Yup...but there is always a caveat to that.
Whether or not you like a leader, their policies are really what affects people directly and that's generally how they vote.
though I have to admit that Layton has swung people this time, not because of policy, but because he is tolerable and many see the others as intolerable.
If the likeability ratings were the judge for the final results, the NDP would win in a landslide never seen in Canada.
