Canadians want majority government on May 2: poll

TORONTO, Ont. – A new survey suggests Canadians are saying enough to seven years of minority government.

The Canadian Press Harris-Decima poll found 45 per cent of Canadians would like to elect a majority government in the May 2 election.

However, voters remain split on who should lead that majority.

Twenty-nine per cent want a Conservative majority for Stephen Harper’s Tories, while 16 per cent want a Liberal majority led by Michael Ignatieff.

Harris Decima chairman Alan Gregg said only 20 per cent want another minority.

Where issues are concerned, the economy tops the list, closely followed by health care and ethics.

Harper campaigns in Prince Edward Island, Friday, while Ignatieff visits central Ontario. NDP Leader Jack Layton is in Sudbury.
