The online survey was conducted among current members of

INNOVATIVEs Canada 20/20 panel from April 8th to April 11th, 2011. The Canada 20/20 Panel is recruited from a wide variety of sources to

be representative of the known distribution of Canadians by age, gender,region and language.

Each survey is administered to a series of randomly selected subsamples of the panel and weighted according to Census data to ensurethat the sample is representative of the age, gender, region andlanguage breakdown of the Canadian population to provide results thatare intended to approximate a probability sample.

Each panellist is provided with a unique URL in their invitation so thatonly invited panel members are able to complete any specific survey.Each URL can only be used to complete one survey.

The weighted total sample included 2059 responses eligible for inclusionin our analysis. An unweighted probability sample of 2059 would have anestimated margin of error of 2.16 percentage points, 19 times out of20.

The margin of error will be larger within each sub-grouping of thesample.

Verbatims Stephen Harper

Harper - negative

He looks like a fool on a quad.

I don't want to talk about itbecause he's a creep.

Everyone is putting him down.

another scandal about how

tyrannical he is as a primeminister....it's his way or thehighway. it doesn't matter whatthe people want or even whathis party wants, it's all aboutwhat he wants.

Steve ain't doing so good

campaigning.

Pathological liar and hypocrite.

He makes mistake aftermistake. He offends everyone.

Controversy over excluding

people from rallies

Throwing people out of ralliesbecause of information he hasabout their beliefs.

About folks not being allowed toattend his rallies because of

perceived liberal affiliations andthe RCMP screeners oversteppedtheir bounds.

The RCMP removed somepeople from the organizedConservative rallies as they werethought to favour another party.

That he has publicly altered hisconvictions on barring peoplefrom his events. My perception isthat his apology is not honest.

Party platform/promises -

general

Platform released.

I've read his new campaignplatform.

He presented the Conservative

Policy Platform to the people ofCanada.

Election promises, electionpromises.

His election promises.

Campaign promises.

His Party's campaign platform.

He released the party's electionplatform document.

Election platform which is arehash of the budget which didn'tpass.

party to really talk about it.

He was on TV going on abouthow he was the only one thatcould save health care.

Layton is pushing for moreattention to long-term health

care, and accusing "Harper'sGovernment" of a lack ofattention to details in thisregard, citing Holder's refusal todiscuss Health Care duringelection rallies.

Que le NPD augmente dans lessondages

Election Promises

More stupid election promisesthat taxpayers cannot afford.

He is promising everything underthe sun.

Jack promises us the world butalways fails to mention where the

money will come from to pay forthese programs. That's ok becauseI already know that I, the taxpayer,will foot the bill. Thanks but nothanks.

Campaign promises.

The usual NDP drivel - promises

he'll never be able to keepbecause he'll never get to be PM.

Promising 2500 new jobs in(something?).
