Liberal leader Stephane Dion continues to see his popularity plummet in Quebec. A new Leger marketing poll reveals he's the fourth most popular leader in this province. When asked who would make the best prime minister, only 12 per cent of Quebecers said Dion, whereas 16 per cent said NDP leader Jack Layton and Bloc leader Gilles Duceppe. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was way ahead with 36 per cent. Across the country however, Dion's in second place tied with Layton at 13 per cent support. Harper's still well in the lead nationally at 34 per cent. If an election were held today, the poll suggests 37 per cent of Canadians would vote Conservative, 30 per cent would vote Liberal and 14 per cent would vote NDP. They should get rid of Dion soon.Were giving the Conservatives a free ride.

Dion is not an effective leader for a national party. He has a few qualities to be sure, however he doesn't have broad enough appeal. His accent comes across as a liability when trying to communicate in English. The liberals fielded a lacklustre selection of contenders for party leadership. Charisma, trust and down to earth persona make the best combination. Neither of their candidates possessed the right stuff to carry their message outside their own faithful. Chreiten had elements of the required ingredients and convinced enough people to vote for his party. Even Martin, were it not for the mounting scandals, might have held on to power longer than he did. Dion is mechanical, unconvincing, and seems oddly out of place when trying to appear decisive. They needed someone like Axworthy, McKenna, or Tobin to build a platform around. At one time they at least had depth in their ranks, but now they're just see through.[ 04 June 2007: Message edited by: Slumberjack ]

Yes, but in an election, there isn't four ballots, is there? quote: He does not have the name recognition yet, but he is the best realistic choice to lead this country. He will very likely become our next Prime Minister.
The most realistic choice to lead this country is Stephen Harper, if the polls that show he's way out in front for best Prime Minister are anything to go by.

Dion is dead weight for the Liberals.
Where the hell is Rae and his support for Dion.Have not seen Rae on any political shows in some time. Get Ruby in there for leader,much better leader potential Imo.
