A recent SES poll shows that Jack Layton's performance in last weeks debates has helped the NDP leader gain some ground. For the first time since the begining of the campaign Layton has moved to 4th position displacing None as the choice for best PM.

The popularity of Unsure doesn't seem to have wavered as Unsure holds steady in 2nd place behind Paul Martin. Harper is unchanged in 3rd.

Best PM
Martin – 26% (-3)
Unsure – 23% (+10)
Harper – 22% (NC)
Layton – 13% (-3)
None – 9% (-2)
Duceppe - 5% (-2)
Harris – 2% (-2)

Keep checking back for my continued analysis of the campaign and the best PM polling.
