MONTREAL - The latest Leger Marketing Polls shows a threeway split between the three biggest provincial parties.
The Liberals and the PQ both polled 29 percent, while the newly-minted CAQ attracted 28 percent.
The vote is a blow to the CAQ, which has been riding high above all comers last summer.
"The fact that the CAQ started out so strong when the party was officially launched in November and now has lost nine percentage points since then is an indication that voters aren't really sure where they'll be going if an election were held now," said Rheal Seguin of the Globe and Mail.
It would appear to be a miraculous recovery by Pauline Marois, whose PQ had long been trailing woefully behind in the polls.
"We still have a lot of work to do. We've have got to keep on working, we can't take anything for granted," said Bernard Drainville, PQ MNA for Marie-Victorin.
Another colleague agreed that sealing the cracks has helped.
"I think it just shows that when we work together, when we are united, that Quebecers are willing to hear what we have to say," said Nicolas Marceau, PQ MNA for Rousseau.
The bad news for the Charest Liberals is that only 21 percent of Quebecers said they were happy with his party's performance.
