Canadians are feeling pretty good about where their economy is headed, a new poll suggests.

That's the conclusion drawn from a new Canadian Press Harris-Decima survey. The poll suggests six in 10 Canadians think the economy will bounce back at least twice as strongly as it will in the United States.

"We wanted to see: Are Canadians feeling that good about how things are? And what the data told us is, 'Yes, they are,' " Harris-Decima vice-president Jeff Walker said.

"They feel like things are really rebounding, that things are turning around, and that based on what they observe about the U.S., that it could be the case that we have twice the level of growth they do this year."

Western Canadians were slightly more optimistic about the economic recovery than those in Atlantic Canada and Quebec, the poll suggests.

Conservative supporters were more confident about the economy's rebound than those who back other political parties.

Seventy per cent of Tory backers thought Canada's economy would outperform the United States', compared to 65 per cent for the Liberals, 62 per cent for the Bloc Québécois and 48 per cent for the NDP.

The telephone poll of 1,000 Canadians was conducted from July 23 to 26. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
