Liberals pull ahead in Quebec
Leadership debate proves fruitful for Jean Charest’s beleaguered Liberal party in Quebec

The Quebec Liberals have once again taken a lead on the Parti Quebecois, according to a poll conducted for the National Post this week.
While previous surveys showed the Parti Quebecois in a slight lead over the Liberals, Jean Charest has seen a sudden upswing in support since this weekend’s leadership debate.
The Liberals now appear to have 35% support, more than four points higher than last week’s polls show, while the PQ now are polling at 29% support.
