The Cons will be disgraced if there is another poll by a major agency that would reveal the truth and contradict the biased likely rigged government sponsored survey. Angus Reid where are you?
Here's a start;

How to Deal with Prostitution
There are some striking differences in the way Canadians perceive the issue of prostitution. One-in-ten respondents (10%) would only punish the “clients”, while one per cent would exclusively punish the prostitutes. More than a third (36%) believe both the prostitutes and their “clients” should be punished. However, more than two-in-five respondents (45%) believe nobody should be punished and that adults should be allowed to engage in consensual prostitution.
While three-in-five men (59%) state that nobody should be punished, only a third of women (32%) concur. In fact, women are more likely to endorse an approach that punishes both prostitutes and “clients”.
A majority of Canadians (54%) endorse the argument that prostitutes should be allowed to work indoors or in brothels because this will make them safer, and stop them from working on the streets. A third of respondents (34%) disagree with this idea, and claim that this course of action would lead to a legitimization of prostitution, which could turn Canada into a safe haven for sex tourism.
Once again, the gender gap is evident. While men support the notion of prostitutes working indoors by a large margin (65% to 25%), women are almost evenly divided on this issue (44% to 42%).
On a question that provides three policy options to deal with the issue of prostitution in Canada, half of Canadians (49%) would opt to decriminalize some of the actions surrounding prostitution that are currently illegal and allowing adults to engage in consensual prostitution. One-in-four respondents (24%) would prohibit prostitution entirely, and make it illegal to exchange sex for money. Only 15 per cent of respondents would keep the status quo, which criminalizes some of the activities surrounding prostitution.
Three-in-five men (60%) voice support for the decriminalization of prostitution, compared to two-in-five women (38%). Respondents aged 35 to 54 (56%) and those over the age of 55 (51%) are more likely to support allowing adults to engage in consensual prostitution than those aged 18 to 34 (39%).

The Conservatives won't let anyone examine the methodology of their survey just the result, wonder why.
