You mean the Ipsos Reid one from August 24? Did you have a look at the Harris Decima one from the same day?

It paints the picture as being pretty good for the Liberals right now, and its sample size is nearly double (2000 to 1000) what the Ipsos Reid one was.
It presents almost the exact opposite picture in Ontario (Libs leading 40 to 34, vs. Tories leading 41 to 30 in the IR). As discussed on here when the Ipsos Reid one came out, it really does look like an outlier.
