Liberals are back ahead...

Didn't take as long as I thought it would.

It took less than a week, but the Liberals have already rebounded from the popularity hit they took when the Gomery report was released on Nov. 1.

In a Nov. 4 poll, the governing party's support was estimated at 28 per cent -- a 10-point plunge from one released Oct. 19.

However, in a new poll conducted over the weekend by The Strategic Counsel for CTV and The Globe and Mail, the Liberals are back up to 35 per cent support.

Liberals: 35 per cent (+7)
Conservatives: 28 per cent (-3)
NDP: 16 per cent (-4)
Bloc Quebecois 13 per cent (no change)
Green Party: 8 per cent (+1)
Regionally, the poll found the Liberals taking a solid lead over the Opposition in Ontario, 44 to 31 per cent.

In Quebec, the Liberals have 30 per cent support, which has them trailing the sovereigntist Bloc Quebecois by 20 points.

1. I think it is more their polling methodology than a change in

Canadian support. The 10 point drop and then a 7 point gain in less than a week is unlikely. One needs to take the polls by Strategic Counsel with a degree of scepticism, imo.
