Liberals gaining momentum

After their major defeat during the last federal elections, the Liberal Party is finally gaining momentum.

While the Conservatives and the NDP are still leading, the Abacus poll shows the Liberals are catching up with 21 per cent support from voters.

With Bob Rae as interim leader, they are constantly in the public eye, getting both coverage and support. The Angus Reid poll showed Bob Rae’s personal popularity increasing from 20 per cent in August to 28 per cent of respondents having a favorable opinion of him.

Although it is still unclear whether Mr. Rae wants the leadership post, which will be given sometime in the spring of 2013, his increasing popularity might become crucial to the Party’s success.
