Harper Leads By More Than A Nose

More Canadians prefer Stephen Harper as PM: poll
"The Conservatives have apparently done a good job managing campaign controversies -- an exclusive CityNews/Maclean’s poll released Tuesday shows most Canadians surveyed believe Stephen Harper would make the best prime minister.

Thirty-six per cent of respondents to an Innovative Research survey said Harper is best suited to be PM; 22 per cent said Michael Ignatieff; 20 per cent said Jack Layton and three per cent said Elizabeth May.

The Conservatives have a comfortable, double-digit lead with just under two weeks to go until Canadians head to the ballot box.

The poll shows the Conservatives lead the pack with 39 per cent support, followed by the Liberals with 28 per cent and the NDP in third with the backing of 17 per cent of the 1,897 people surveyed between April 13th and 17th.

In Ontario, the Conservatives have a seven-point lead over the Liberals -- the parties have 42 per cent and 35 per cent support respectively. The NDP sits at 16 per cent support and the Greens at six per cent."
I've been kinda hoping the Cons were saving the best for the last. After three or four weeks of campaigning they have enough dirt and gaffes from the other parties to make for some really good attack ads for the home stretch. Let's have a majority, please.
