Well, when it comes to the matter of prorogation (don't you just love that word?) or the suspension of Canadian Parliament - perhaps the PM has less than he thought.
According to a recent survey, the number of Canadians with a favourable impression of the PM has dropped seven points since last November.
In November he had a 51% favourability rating, almost as high as white bread, and was likely thinking he would one day be king of all the land or of all he surveyed - if he could just lift his eyes from the 'How to Be a More Broad-Minded Prime Minister' manual.
Now he has a 44% rating and is likely thinking less about being king and more about just making a sandwich.
I mentioned yesterday the comment from one reader who supported the PM and didn't support the column I wrote about the matter.
(Please see the post below, and comments - very entertaining and informative).
What I didn't mention is that, though the PM's favourability rating dropped, 'Conservative support is unchanged at 34%, followed by the Liberals at 30%, the NDP at 16% and the Greens at 9%.' (Jan. 15, London Free Press)
So, to answer the question posed in the post's title, those in favour of Harper as PM is dropping (not like a stone mind you, more like a stale loaf of white bread) and his party does not have the support of two out of three Canadians.

Would he get more support if he was a working Prime Minister and not a suspended one?
