		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s tempting to snicker at this, were it not so utterly predictable. Of course Rob Ford&#8217;s support would rise in this poll.

But it&#8217;s akin to Michael Ignatieff&#8217;s bus breakdown in that this was something that should have been foreseen, but ultimately wasn&#8217;t.

You&#8217;ll also know, from today&#8217;s National Post, that Chris Selley was there too.
