Fearmongering courtesy of the Globe and Mail

The Globe and Mail's piece on a recently released poll is interesting:

Quebec — The Conservative Party's inability to overtake the Liberals may have more to do with its agenda than with Stephen Harper, according to a new opinion poll.
...
"The problem isn't the leader, it is the party and its social policies," pollster Jean-Marc Léger said in an interview yesterday.

Jean-Marc seems like a smart guy. Then maybe he can explain these very same results from his own poll:
When respondents were asked whether they were "afraid" of Mr. Harper's positions on "abortion, the death penalty and same-sex marriage," 39 per cent said yes and 43 per cent said no. The remaining 18 per cent said they did not know or declined to answer.

Forgive me for being a little confused, but a majority said they weren't afraid of Harper's stand on social issues... So what in the heck is Jean-Marc and the Globe and Mail talking about?

Fearmongering must sell more newspapers nowadays than anything else.
