While Tasteful Future took the bait and commented on the numbers on Harper and Martin, the bigger story here should be what Canadians had to say about Jack Layton.
Layton was the lone leader to improve his standing on the balance, with a +17 differential between "improved" and "gotten worse" (compared to 0 for Duceppe and -27 apiece for Harper and Martin). And 78% of those polled want the NDP to keep Layton as leader, again a higher total than any of the other three.
There's a lot of justified cynicism about Con and Lib politics at the moment - and right now Layton is the one who looks great in comparison. Of course there's a lot of work to be done to make sure his image stays in the same place for the next election, but this is a great starting point.
