But can the polls more than seven months out from election day really tell us anything about what the result might be? In 1999, the PCs gained six points and the Liberals lost three over the last months before the election, turning McGuinty's polling lead into Mike Harris's re-electon. Their election results have beaten their polls seven to nine months earlier by an average of two points. That five-point increase would put them at about 35 per cent support. But the polls suggest Wynne's Liberals will need a significant feat of electoral engineering to pull that off.
