The Liberals are up four points to 30 per cent. When it comes to the who's-a-better-leader type of questions, poll respondents overwhelmingly picked Harper over Dion on all characteristics but one: When asked which leader they rated as honest and trustworthy, Dion was picked by 38 per cent; Harper by 33 per cent. And 58 per cent of those polled say the credibility of the Conservatives had been damaged by the RCMP raids.... Susan Delacourt, in her reporting on this poll, sounds a note of caution for election-hungry Liberals: Despite all this bad news for the Tories, however, the poll does not provide any strong encouragement to Liberals to provoke a snap election when the Commons returns Monday after a one-week break.
