In the ferocious Montreal electoral battleground in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, New Democratic Party candidate Maria Mourani is leading her Liberal opponent Mélanie Joly by a narrow margin, but the vote remains volatile and subject to change, according to a new Mainstreet/Postmedia poll.

According to the poll, had an election been held on Sept. 21 in the riding, Mourani, the former Bloc Québécois MP who got booted out of the party and now is trying for re-election as a New Democrat, is leading, with 35 per cent of the vote compared to 30 per cent for the Liberal challenger, former Montreal mayoralty candidate Joly, who entered the race late following a bitter nomination battle with her fellow Liberals.
