Tories jump into clear lead

From the Toronto Star -- http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/Con...d=968332188492

OTTAWA—The election campaign has taken a dramatic turn, with the opposition Conservatives jumping into their first real lead over the governing Liberals, a new poll shows.

The survey, conducted by EKOS Research Associates for the Star and La Presse, found that 36.2 per cent of decided voters say they will support the Conservatives, while 30.4 per cent favoured the Liberals.

The NDP is supported by 17.9 per cent of voters, while the Bloc is at 10.4 per cent nationally and the Green party is at 4.7 per cent.

If the numbers hold up, it would mean a Tory minority government. (...)
If. We'll see. It's quite a feat for the Tories to take the lead at all with such a loser as their leader.

This could be an interesting election, maybe even a cliff-hanger. Usually things are all wrapped up by the time the polls close in Quebec and Ontario. But this one could be decided further west, in Saskatchewan or British Columbia.
