Protests by native Canadians appear to have done little to gain public support as a new poll suggests attitudes are hardening on aboriginal issues.

The survey found that 64 per cent of respondents think native Canadians get too much support from taxpayers. A similar percentage, 62 per cent, believes that aboriginal peoples are treated well by the federal government.

Conversely, only 27 per cent of Canadians believe that federal money spent on reserves is managed well by native leaders and communities.
