The Harris Decima poll today is great news for the Conservatives, putting them at 41%.

That's up from 36% in the previous Harris Decima poll 4 days ago. It's worth noting that the the only three times in Canadian history has a party received more than 40% of the vote and failed to form a majority. Personally, I blame this on the fact that the opposition parties have been extremely slow to roll out any sort of media campaign. Harper has had a complete monopoly on dictating the dialogue.
