Tories flirting with majority popularity: poll

Canadian PressOTTAWA—The Conservatives have seized a commanding lead in popularity over the Liberals and inched into majority-government territory, says a new survey released Wednesday.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Tories held a 15-point advantage over the Liberals and broke past what is considered the benchmark for winning a majority government, says the Decima poll.
The Conservatives stood at 41 percent. That’s an increasing lead over the liberals. And it’s a large increase over election day, when they had just 36 percent [edit/corrected].
The Conservatives had more support than the Liberals among women as well as men, among every age group, in urban as well as rural areas and in every region except Atlantic Canada, the poll said.
So their base of support is ubiquitous.
The governing party had a seven-point lead over the Liberals in Ontario, where the Liberals currently hold the lion’s share of seats. The Tories held 40 per cent in that province, the Liberals 33 per cent, and the NDP had 25 per cent.
Yes, the Conservatives are doing terribly—just as the media tries to have us believe.
