Poll shows a lead for the Liberals

The latest Nik Nanos poll shows the Liberal party taking a slim lead over the Harper Conservatives. The lead is just inside the margin of error for the poll, but these are welcome numbers nonetheless.

Interesting notes:

• NDP voters are trending toward the Liberal column.
• Harper ranks third in Quebec behind Ignatieff and Duceppe as best PM.
• Liberal support has increased in every region except Atlantic Canada (even Western Canada!?).
• Conservative support declined everywhere except Quebec.
• Ignatieff is only behind by 6% in the "Best PM category".
  

If this trending is confirmed by other pollsters get ready for the CPC nuclear option.
