Lots of polls survey more people. The Harris Decima one from last week had over 2000, and margin of errors at 4.4 and 3.8 in Quebec and Ontario, and 2.2 nationally. The Ekos one was also over 2000, with margin of errors of 4.6 and 3.7 in Quebec and Ontario and 2.3 nationally. I'm more interested in seeing the next iteration of both of those.
