The most recent poll by Corporate Research Associates has Preem Rodo McDodo in last place for personal popularity.
And his numbers are sliding from 27% popularity three months ago to 20% now.
Way to do Rodo! If you’re going down, you might as well go down big – and in flames.
He ran a unfocused government. Now he’s running a unfocused campaign. Add those two things together and you get a premier on the way out.
Guess the Tory Brain Trust from the PMO overestimated themselves.
Or maybe they alienated the caucus and everyone at the constituency level with overinflated opinions of themselves and that whole “we’re from the PMO” vibe.
Maybe the good people of Little Tartan Republic don’t like seeing the bigshots coming down and telling them how a campaign should be run.
Or perhaps this is exactly how they wanted things to go. Maybe the campaign team was instructed to get rid of Rodo.
You have to wonder with such a spectacularly unsuccessful candidate and a spectacularly unsuccessful campaign. It can’t just be bad luck for them and good luck for the province. It has to be deliberate on some level, either than or divine intervention.
The poll puts the NDP at 37%, the Liberals at 31% and the Torie 28%. Three percent support the Greens.
Satisfaction with the overall performance of the Tories has plummeted from 54% to 45%.
