Look at the heading in this article:
Half (48%) of Canadians Believe Conservative Majority Government is Working
Well (Up 8 Points)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
With Election Year Looming, Most (71%) Conservative Voters Think Prime Minister
Harper Should Remain as Leader for as Long as he is Winning Elections
_________________________________
That's the header on an article from Ipsos Ca pollster . . .
Now take a look at the actual figures for who thinks the "Conservative
Government is Working Well" :
Only 14% strongly agree with that statement.
34% say they 'somewhat' agree with that statement.
Total: 48%
Cute, eh?
Now take a look at the numbers of those polled who disagree with that statement.
23% strongly disagree;
29% somewhat disagree.
Total: 52%
Now look at the heading of the article again.
Only stupid people would have read the header and not read the actual numbers
behind the BS implication of the header.
Greg Carr, you were one of them.

Half (48%) of Canadians Believe Conservative Majority Government is Working
Well (Up 8 Points)
With Election Year Looming, Most (71%) Conservative Voters Think Prime Minister
Harper Should Remain as Leader for as Long as he is Winning Elections
Tuesday, December 23, 2014
Toronto, ON – As the political year draws to a close, one half (48%) of
Canadians ‘agree’ (14% strongly/34% somewhat) that ‘overall, the Conservative
majority government in Ottawa is working well’ for Canada, up 8 points since
the end of 2013, according to a new Ipsos Reid poll conducted on behalf of
Global News. While the other half (52%) of Canadians ‘disagree’ (23%
strongly/29% somewhat) that the government is working well, these numbers
should be encouraging to the Conservative government heading into an election year.
___________________________________
IPSOS:
Moreover, half (49%) ‘approve’ (16% strongly/34% somewhat) of ‘the way Stephen
Harper is handling his job as Prime Minister’, which is up 4 points from the
proportion of Canadians who approved in Ipsos’ year-end poll of 2012. Half
(51%) ‘disapprove’ (27% strongly/23% somewhat) with this job performance, down
4 points since 2012.
__________________________________
So . . . in this approval category, only 16% strongly approve of how Stephen
Harper is handling his job as PM.
27% strongly DISAPPROVE of how he is handling his job as PM.
And take a look at what year Ipsos used to compare the Harper government's
approval ratings . . . 2012. What happened to 2013, do you suppose?
__________________________________________
IPSOS:
The government continues to make the economy its priority, and on this file 51%
‘approve’ (14% strongly/38% somewhat) of the government’s overall management of
the Canadian economy, and 49% ‘disapprove’ (18% strongly/31% somewhat).
Approval is up 2 points since 2012, and disapproval is down 2 points.
__________________________________________
Once again, 14% 'strongly approve' of Harper's management of our economy.
And 18% 'strongly disapprove' of his handling of our economy.
_____________________________________
iPSOS:
By comparison, approval of Harper’s handling of the economy is ahead of
Canadians’ approval rating for how their provincial premier is handling their
respective provincial economies in every province but Alberta: Saskatchewan and
Manitoba (40%), British Columbia (40%), Ontario (42%), Quebec (43%), Atlantic
Canada (50%), Alberta (54%).
______________________________________
Now, THAT'S the cutest factoid yet in this deceptive little rightwing poll . .
. . IPSOS is actually comparing HARPER'S handling of the country's economy
with PROVINCIAL
PREMIERS' handling of individual provincial economies. Can anyone say 'apples
to oranges'?
____________________________________
IPSOS:
Despite an increase of 5 points since last year, only four in ten (42%)
‘agree’ (10% strongly/32% somewhat) that ‘the Harper government has struck the
right balance between economic growth and environmental protection and
management’, while a majority (58%) ‘disagrees’ (29% strongly/29% somewhat)
that the right balance has been found. Furthermore, just four in ten (41%)
‘agree’ (8% strongly/32% somewhat) that ‘the Harper government is doing a good
job in protecting Canada’s environment’ (up 4 points), while a majority (59%)
‘disagrees’ (33% strongly/26% somewhat) that it is (down 4 points).
_________________________________________
IPSOS sure had a hard time with that little ENVIRONMENT category, so they
preceded the sentence with "Despite an increase of 5 points since last year"
(which undoubtedly was
their own poll from last year).
But the numbers still pointed in this direction . . .
'Right balance between economic growth and environment protection': 10%
'strongly agree'; 29% 'strongly disagree'.
'Harper doing a good job in protecting Canada's environment': 8%
'strongly agree'; 33% 'strongly disagree'
Wow. Do we get it now?
We're being used as fools for the ones with the tools. Read the whole poll and
see it for yourselves. And learn to spot the rightwing pollsters and to read
between their lies - going into this next federal election.
