Dryden takes the lead - CBC Poll

CBC Newsworld is reporting that Ken Dryden is most popular choice among Canadians for leader... the poll can be found here

In short, Dryden leads with 19% followed by Rae at 17% among all voters. Among Liberal voters, Dryden maintains his lead at 19%, and Rae pulls up beside him at 19% as well...

Iggy? Dion? Kennedy? Brison? All sitting between 12% and 4% in both samples...

... name recognition (stating the obvious).

I find it interesting that maybe again the name Rae is not a negative to the public - whether it should be or not.

to me , this poll indicates how out of touch the party is with canadians. i rarely hear much about dryden on partisan liberal blogs and way too much about iggy.

I think Jeff is right. Maybe this poll (and the next one) will open this race up a bit in terms of airplay, etc.

Yikes, that's scary stuff. If we elect any of Dryden/Iggy/Rae as our leader I'll have to bury my head and concentrate on my local candidate.

*shudder*

hishighness,

re: "concentrate on your local candidate"

according to the poll if you elect anyone else you'll have to do that anyway. 95% of Canadians don't seem to recognize any of the others...
