...who said "Only dogs know what to do with poles.", referring, of course to polls, not poles. But nevertheless, I think this is sort of interesting:

"You may know that the polls show the Conservatives about 10 points ahead of the Liberals in this federal election campaign. But you might not know this: On questions of leadership, Stephen Harper outpolls Michael Ignatieff better than two-to-one."

...and this: New poll has Tories near majority territory

"The Conservatives have opened a double-digit lead over the Liberals in the latest poll..."

Still three weeks to go, though, and as everyone should know, the politicians and the MSM save their best shots for the last. Who knows what pseudo-scandals lay in waiting to be trumped up just in time?
