Harper and Layton continue to slide, but Unsure is making big gains.

Canadians know what they want - and its uncertainty. If the election were held today - and if Unsure could form a party and have candidates run in all ridings, Unsure just might be the next leader of the opposition.

The full story: (From SES Research)

If the election were held Sunday night, it would have likely yielded the exact same result as the previous election. Based on the tracking completed Sunday all three major parties registered the same support as the election in June 2004 (Liberal 37, Conservative 30, NDP 16).

The Bloc as of Sunday night registered 13% support (one point higher than the last election) and the Green Party 5% (one point higher than the last election).

Sunday was a particularly good day for both Stephen Harper and Jack Layton. Their performance scores for Sunday were up while the Paul Martin's daily evaluation slid. Also of note is that the percentage of Canadians who are unsure who would make the best PM has continued
to climb and is now at 22%.
