Poll numbers are in...

And they're not looking too good for Mr. "Canadians don't care" Harper.

Majority of Canadians Disagree with Prorogation of Parliament

The recent prorogation of Parliament does not sit well with a majority of Canadians, and supporters of opposition parties are particularly dismayed by the decision, a new Angus Reid Public Opinion poll conducted in partnership with the Toronto Star has found.

In the online survey of a representative national sample of 1,019 Canadian adults, 53 per cent of respondents disagree with the decision to prorogue Parliament.

Mind you, 53% is well short of the 60% bar set for electoral reform in 4 failed provincial referendums even if support for the prorogue is only at 19% (with 30% undecided) In any case, 53% is higher than the 37.63% garnered by Harper in the general election of 2008. But by the new standards of thresholds, it's just not enough popular opinion to matter to the PM. So don't expect any reversals.

Thankfully, the PM's hypocrisy is too much for even the media (or some of it anyway) so they keep weighing in.
