Two big polls released today have slightly different results.

I think theLeger Marketing Pollis a better reflection ofthe overall trend so far in this election.

Both put Parti Qubcois support at 32 per cent.

CROP puts the Liberals at 29 per cent,Leger at 31.

That's within the margin of error.

The big difference is how they gauge support for the Coalition Avenir Qubec.

CROP puts the CAQ at 21 per cent. Leger has them at 27 per cent.

CROP polled between August 4 and to 8. Leger polled from Aug 6 to 8.

Leger Marketing V-P, Jean Marc Lger, told Radio Noon listeners his firm surveyedmore people after Jacques Duchesneau entered the race.

Duchesneau's candidacy has so far been the defining moment of the campaign.

Incidentally,here's Jean Marc Lger explaining in Le Devoirwhy his firm believes that online polling is now more accurate than surveys conducted exclusively by phone.
