On enduring images

Brian Topp's reading of another set of Ipsos-Reid numbers is similar to what I'd posted about last week's issue polling. So rather than repeating the general analysis, let's note this remarkable single question response:

Has a hidden agenda: Harper 45 per cent; Ignatieff 37; Layton 14.

Of course, the result isn't all that hard to explain given both Harper's secrecy while in office, and the sense that Ignatieff doesn't have much of an agenda to keep secret in the first place. But isn't it still remarkable that after nearly five years in power, Harper is still outpacing his leadership competitors on the hidden agenda front?
