In a tight race between mayoral candidates Denis Coderre and Valerie Plante, it appears Plante is now taking the lead by six per cent.
The latest numbers from Mainstreet Research show Projet Montreal's Plante polling at 46 per cent and Ensemble Montreal's Coderre at 40 per cent.
Balarama Holness, the candidate for Movement Montreal, is sitting at five per cent. Two per cent of voters fall between the "other" umbrella, according to the data. Only 7 per cent of voters are currently undecided.
