If Obama was Canadian
If anyone is wondering why the Harper government is taking a lot of flack for their role in the "NAFTA-gate" kerfuffle, this story may offer an explanation. Obama is a hell of lot more popular in Canada than Harper is, (or any of our other political leaders).
Whether Tory or Grit, the results suggest an Obama-led Canadian party would bust open the current deadlock in public opinion.
As a Liberal, Obama would almost double that party's support relative to the Conservatives, 33-18.
As a Tory, Obama would more than double relative support compared to the Liberals, 32-15.
Harris-Decima president Bruce Anderson says that when you combine the survey's findings with current voting intentions, either federal party would win a landslide victory with Obama as leader.
Apparently we're just as tired of our leadership as Americans are.
