Pollster Nik Nanos says, for the first time in the provincial election race in Ontario, that Premier Dalton McGuinty has edged into majority territory.
Nanos' firm SES Research has McGuinty's Liberals at at 44 per cent, 10 points up on John Tory's Conservatives. Howard Hampton's NDP are at 15 per cent and the Greens are at 7 per cent. The pollster was in the field Sept. 28-30 and says the results are accurate to within 4.7 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
In the meantime, John Tory, um, modifies his position on the issue of public funding of faith-based schools. Tory's fellow Tories are blaming his earlier position on this this issue for what now appears to the party's failure to break through against McGuinty.
The vote is on October 10.
