OTTAWA -- The federal Conservatives have surged to 40 per cent in the popularity sweepstakes, opening a 12-point lead over the Liberals and moving within sight of majority government, a new national poll says.

"These are the best numbers the Tories have had in years," Darrell Bricker, president of the polling firm, said Friday. At 40 per cent, the Conservatives were up four points from the last Ipsos-Reid poll in August, and were right on the "magic number" needed to think about forming a majority government, he said.

While I am not sure a Conservative majority is exactly what I am looking for, I do think Harper can out campaign Dion and that not as many people will buy into the "scary" approach that the Liberals played off of in the last election.

Time will tell, but the wording of the speech from the throne this week should be interesting.

I think the only question that matters right now is if Dion does.
