PQ on the way down?

From Reuters, an article on the Quebec general election that notes the results of the latest Leger poll.

The Liberals are leading the Parti Quebecois, 36% to 29%. Action democratique is at 25%. Among francophones, the Liberals and the ADQ each have 28%, with the PQ holding 33% of francophone voters. Non- francophone respondents indicated overwhelmingly in favour of the Liberals.

And from le devoir, coverage of Jean Charest, including this message to the Prime Minister from Charest:
"Les Québécois s'attendent à ce qu'il y ait un progrès significatif et concret dans le dossier du déséquilibre fiscal. Le gouvernement fédéral a en main tout ce qu'il faut pour prendre ses décisions."
