Majority (56%) of Canadians Agree Liberal Party is a ‘Party of the Past’

If the Liberals are hoping that finding a permanent leader will turn around their party’s fortunes, Canadians remain divided on the question. One half (52%) ‘agree’ (21% strongly/31% somewhat) that ‘regardless of who the Liberals choose as their next leader’, they’ve ‘pretty much written off the Liberals’. The other half (48%) of Canadians ‘disagree’ (16% strongly/32% somewhat), believing that the Liberals will once again be a force to be reckoned with. Interestingly, six in ten (61%) current NDP supporters agree that they’ve written off the Liberals, as have seven in ten (70%) Conservative supporters

Half (52%) of Canadians Have ‘Written Off the Liberals’, Harper Bests all Current Party Leaders in Positive Impressions

On the topic of leadership, the data reveal that Stephen Harper bests all current party leaders when it comes to leaving a positive impression on Canadians. Three in ten (28%) have a positive impression of Conservative leader and Prime Minister Stephen Harper, followed in second place by newly-elected NDP leader Thomas Mulcair (19%), despite being in the national spotlight for only a short time. In third place is interim Liberal leader Bob Rae (18%), followed by Elizabeth May (16%). In Quebec, just 8% say that Daniel Paille has left a positive impression on them.
