404 error when viewing the details, Polls Django

I went the tutorial for building the Django Polls website, but i got an error when I clicked the questions to see the details. The error message:

Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
    ^polls/ ^$ [name='index']
    ^polls/ ^(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/$ [name='detail']
    ^polls/ ^(?P<pk>[0-9]+)/results/$ [name='results']
    ^polls/ ^(?P<question_id>[0-9]+)/vote/$ [name='vote']
    ^admin/
    The current URL, polls/“/polls/7/”, didn't match any of these.

I am not sure why it returns me the URL polls/“/polls/7/”. here is how i wrote the template:

{% if latest_question_list %}
     <ol>
     {% for q in latest_question_list %}
         <li><a href=“{% url "polls:detail" q.id %}”>{{ q.question_text }}</a></li>
     {% endfor %}
     </ol>
{% else %}
     <p> No Polls are available. </p>
{% endif %}

Follow-up on this question: I finally solved this issue by changing the smart link to the hard coded link.

You seem to be using curly ("smart") quotes in your code. They're not recognised by Django or your browser.

Swap them for normal quotes, and make sure you're using a text editor, not a word processor, to write your code.
