Tories drop into tie with Liberals after weeks of controversy

OTTAWA (CP) - Stephen Harper's Conservatives have squandered their sizeable lead and are now statistically tied with the Liberals after weeks of stumbles, a new poll suggests.
The Decima poll, provided exclusively to The Canadian Press, indicates the Tories have slipped to 30 per cent - putting them in a statistical tie with the Liberals who rose two points to 31 per cent.
But the Tories have since been hit by a series of controversies over their climate-change plan, the treatment of Afghan detainees, and the prime minister's taxpayer-funded image adviser.
They are now running marginally behind the Liberals, essentially back to where they were last fall and early winter. Conservative preparations for a spring election the prime minister insisted he did not want have come to a brisk halt.
