TORONTO (Reuters) - Canada's ruling Conservatives are within reach of gaining the support they need to win a majority government as Canada gears up for an October election, according to an opinion poll released on Tuesday.
The Strategic Counsel survey, in the Globe and Mail newspaper, showed the Conservatives with support of 37 percent of voters, just below the 40 percent threshold that pollsters say gives a strong chance of winning a majority government.
That's well above the 29 percent support the survey showed for the opposition Liberals, and the 17 percent polled by the left-wing New Democrats. The environmentalist Greens polled 9 percent.

very cool.
Well.. its Strategic Council.. same outfit that predicted a majority government for the Cons. a few days prior to the 2006 federal election.
Three other polls this week show ties within the MOE - Decima and Nanos have us narrowly ahead. I wont get worried til I see those (particularly Nanos) saying the same thing. Until then, I dismiss this SC poll as an outlier.
Good point -- and maybe if people consider it a potential Conservative majority will drive them to vote Liberal... .
