Coderre, for his part, acknowledged the race was tight, saying "you never take things for granted."

"The minute you take people for granted, the worst happens," he said.

"We've been on the field since day one. Think about what happened in Montreal four years ago, and look ahead. Pride is back. We've been doing a lot, and there's no time to improvise, there's no time to start from scratch."

The poll gaveCoderre good marks for leadership, but Plantescored better than him on measures of integrity and willingness to listen.
