A sensitivity measuring contest
Nanos polling for the CBC—see here and here —finds a plurality of Canadians consider the NDP to be the party most sensitive to the needs of seniors, students, new Canadians and the unemployed. The Conservatives are deemed most sensitive to the needs of small business.
Vague notions
Fifty-four percent of Canadians prefer a Liberal-NDP coalition to a Conservative majority, but a plurality of Canadians feel uneasy about the idea of coalition government.
We remain torn over hypothetical options
When Nanos polled a thousand Canadians in January 2009 about what should happen if that year’s federal budget was defeated, 49% favoured an election, 42% said the opposition should be invited to form a coalition.
Adventures in polling

Canadians feel variously about thing they only sort of pay attention to
Two polls this week on popular attitudes toward the business of Parliament—one from Nanos, the other from Pollara. The feelings toward Question Period are predictably sour and there are a couple points where it appears Canadians are generally unhappy with the present state of affairs. Nanos, for instance, finds more are dissatisfied (44%) with the effectiveness of the House of Commons than satisfied (35.4%). Pollara finds more would prefer a majority government (40%) than a minority government (22%).
Where the votes are, aren’t
Nanos released the results of a new poll overnight; the question was “what is your most important NATIONAL issue of concern?”
