the fact still remains that the Tories haven't done anything that deserves to be defeated. And, the Liberals aren't as high in the polls as they would like.
Unless something turns the political climate in another direction - like the economy - the polls are going to continue to show the tories in the 34-37% range and the Libs 30-33%. An election will just give us what we have right now.
The economy? My sense is that people would regard Harper to be a better steward in this regard. If that becomes an issue the CPC benefits.
on the economy , sure there is uncertainty but its coming from the states and not because of anything our government has done wrong , i'd say there were lots of possitives in last few budgets and stock market has been historically viotile last few years , so that is nothign new . the question is will market stay down or will it improve over time .
and the lower dollar is a good thing as it was too high and hurting manufacturing .
