If the Prime Minister is counting on overwhelming public support to save his sorry excuse for a government from the most embarrassing defeat since Joe "Govern as if you have a majority" Clark, he may be in deep trouble.
An Angus Reid poll, done for Conservative TeleVision (CTV) shows that only 35% of people, or less than amount who voted for them in October, say the Conservatives should be allowed to remain in power. While 40% say they should be replaced.
Not exactly a resounding endorsement for the Prime Minister.
On the issue of what should be done the news is also bad for the Conservatives, with 32%, which is 4 points less than they got in October, saying they want an election. Again more people (%37) say that they want the coalition.
Now of course these polls were taken before the Conservative propaganda machine got warmed up, so they may be able to make a dent in these numbers, but it's unlikely to make a difference in time for December 8th, which just increases my feeling that Chicken Steve will prorogue Parliament to escape certain defeat, even though he panned that posible move by Paul Martin in 2005. You see it's Ok as long as it's him doing it.
The thing that scares me the most about Conservatives is most of the time they actually believe the bullshit they spout.
