Liberals surged to 14-point lead over Conservatives, poll says
OTTAWA (CP) - The Liberals vaulted to a 14-point lead over the Conservatives in popular support, suggests a new poll released to The Canadian Press.

A Decima survey last week suggests support for the federal Tories crumbled, putting them in a virtual dead heat with the NDP.

The Liberals were at 37 per cent support, the Tories had 23 per cent and the NDP were trailing them closely at 21 per cent.

1. Thank goodness...

I was worried that my great neighbor to the north (or to the south for us in much of Michigan), which I look to with hope in these dark days, was going to return the Conservatives to power. But I think Harper is such an asshole that Canadians thought twice about it.

Canada, I hope we can be like you when we grow up!

2. I think this drastic drop can be laid directly at the feet of Harper
and his mishandling and obvious self-absorbed attempt at grabbing power topped off by his miserable response to the Grewal taping episode.

I agree with Decima that the support for the Liberals is volatile but less so than it was previously because of Harper's pathetic lack of political skills.
