On a day when the New Democrats are riding high in national public-opinion polls, a new survey suggests that NDP Leader Jack Layton is entrenching himself as a viable leader in the minds of Canadians.

The survey of 400 Canadians conducted Sunday by Nanos Research as part of a daily rolling poll suggests voters’ appreciation for Mr. Layton’s leadership skills rose slightly from the day before to 58.1 on the polling company’s index.

t the same time, Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff’s numbers took a dive from 51.9 to 40.5.

Conservative Leader Stephen Harper remained significantly ahead of all of the other leaders, at 95.9. But incumbent prime ministers have an advantage in this type of poll because Canadians have had the opportunity to observe them in office and can envision them as a leader.
