[rfmcdonald]

The Montreal Gazette's James Mennie reports on the dominance of the NDP in Québec. The party is now entrenched.

[T]his morning, a CROP survey conducted for La Presse suggests that the NDP wave in Quebec is taking on the dimensions of tsunami, and anyone else hoping to make gains in this province is in danger of getting swamped.

The survey suggests the NDP enjoys 47 per cent support in Quebec — a staggering 27 percentage points ahead of the federal Liberals and, relatively speaking, light-years ahead of the Bloc Québécois (16 per cent) and Conservatives (13 per cent).

When asked who they thought best suited to be prime minister, 41 per cent of respondents gave the nod to NDP leader Thomas Mulcair while just 15 per cent believed Liberal leader Justin Trudeau should be sent to 24 Sussex. Conservative leader Stephen Harper, the guy who actually has the job, polled just 13 per cent.
