Pollster Nik Nanos says that Karl Heinz Schreiber’s accusations of potential malfeasance by politicians 15 years ago is hurting the brand of all of today’s politicians. Nanos Research (which you might have known as SES Research until Nik changed the name) says that Stephen Harper remains the leader that Canadians trust the most, although his ‘trustworthy’ numbers dropped in a poll of 1,003 Canadians taken Nov. 24–27 compared to a similar poll done in February.
Nanos also notes that Liberal Leader Stephane Dion is doing worse right now so far as leadership tracking measures than Paul Martin did the night before Martin lost the 2006 election to Harper.
