First the bad:
- Support for the Opposition coalition: 37 per cent
- Only 35 per cent saying the party should continue to govern and 40 per cent wanting change
- A full 75 per cent thought the government should implement a stimulus package as soon as possible
- People wanting to hold a federal election: 32 per cent, with 24 percent not sure (OK this could break bad)
- 57 per cent agreed with the statement that they were "worried about the Bloc Quebecois becoming involved in the federal government."
- 64 per cent of Canadians across Canada said they would be uncomfortable with Dion as leader of the government (this includes 60% in Ontario)
- 48 per cent sent thought the parties should rely solely on their own fundraising
As for the 75% that want an immediate stimulus package, well, they are the electorate, but perhaps if the Conservatives explained why they are waiting that number would drop. I would assume the Conservatives are waiting to introduce a stimulus package because they want the finance department to be very sure on what they are investing in, the returns to be expected on this, and the impact on the budget.
Not even the coalition of usurpers knows what will be in their stimulus package other then 30 billion.

"Support for the Opposition coalition: 37 per cent"
Funny - isn't that the same number Harper got in the election and what the Coalition touts as the reason they have to take over the government
I suspect the CPC is waiting to see what Obama puts together and since he won't be president until the middle of January it doesn't make much sense to act now.
Alberta Girl: No Harper got 38%
At only 37% support there must be a HECK of a lot of pissed off Liberals and NDPers out there!
As usual, the devil is in the details:
Technical notes:
The online poll was conducted from Dec. 1 to 2
It's based on 1,012 randomly-selected Canadian adults
The margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20
The results are statistically weighted according to the most current education, age, gender and region census data

Who's poll was this, was it there and I missed it?
This does not compute because of the 75%, want a stimulas package now. NOOOOO!
37% voted conservative in the last election and so therefore that does not add up. Sorry, vote conservative, wait 10 weeks. Just the way the ball bounces!
No logic in my evaluation but I know the crowd I came to the dance with..
"Support for the Opposition coalition: 37 per cent"
Take out Quebec and what is support %
....crop polled Quebec at 75% for the coalition.
Well duh...they go from
10 Cons MPs in government to
65 Coalition MPs,
why wouldn't they like it.
Finally a poll...is that what it is all about now?
What does the latest poll say? Common sense is irrelevant?
Canadians have alot of common sense, anon.
They are just now digesting that the Bloc gets 6 Senate seats,
and Duceppe gets to pick the PM and have final say over the Federal budget.
The poll numbers tomorrow, after the seppies endorse Dion and the Coalition will change.
Tasha Kheiriddin of the Fraser Institute and sometimes-consultant to Canada's Right explains in this interview about midway why a stimulus package is unnecessary.
