Voters split UN blame between Harper and Ignatieff in poll
Fifty per cent of those polled blamed “the government’s recent record on international diplomacy” for the loss, but Mr. Ignatieff came in a close second.
In the Tory stronghold of Alberta, the blame was split evenly, 39 per cent to 39 per cent, between the government and Mr. Ignatieff.
“I’d say it’s a significant number. Certainly more people put the blame at the feet of the government, but that 31 per cent cite Mr. Ignatieff’s comments does show there’s a sense that the comments were probably ill advised,” pollster William Murray said.
Bottomline, and this speaks volumes about this whole issue. If there really was any significance for the Liberals here, why did the Conservative drop the Ignatieff argument after day one? Why did the Conservatives shelve the Ignatieff ads they had in the CAN, if their talking point was getting any traction whatsoever? I’m sorry, but the storyline is a failed excuse, and if anything this poll SUPPORTS that argument.
