While Bob Rae, Stephane Dion and Gerard Kennedy all saw a decrease in negative coverage, Michael Ignatieff’s negative coverage increased from 28% last week to 35% this week while his positive coverage decreased by 5% (from 11% to 6%). This makes Ignatieff the most negatively viewed candidate on the blogosphere this week, with the majority of bloggers focusing on his Quebec stance.
