Layton is Best-Rated Opposition Leader in Canada
Posted by Tyler Kinch on November 22nd, 2007
Angus Reid Global Monitor) - A third of Canadian adults believe the leader of the New Democratic Party (NDP) would be a competent head of government, according to a poll by Angus Reid Strategies. 34 per cent of respondents think Jack Layton would make a good prime minister.
In addition, 23 per cent of respondents think Liberal leader Stéphane Dion would make a good prime minister, while 14 per cent feel the same way about Green leader Elizabeth May.
Jack Layton’s leadership is one of the many things that drew me to the NDP originally, and even after two elections, he still shows the best leadership in the country.

Attempts by the Conservatives and Liberals to vilify Jack have not worked out well for them as a strategy. Think back to the spring when their nastiness reached a peak with all of the ‘Taliban Jack’ crap that they were hurling. As usual … the were wrong. Jack’s position was where the majority of Canadians were at. He hasn’t let all of their negatative spin affect him and we see the results in the poll you quote. Good post. Thanks Tyler
