With the upcoming Quebec provincial election drawing closer, a recent poll offers insight into the current preferences of Quebecers and political parties.
According to the latest Léger voter intention poll for Le journal-TVA Nouvelles, the Parti Québécois led by Paul St-Pierre Plamondon maintains a strong position at 30 percent. The Quebec Liberals, led by Charles Milliard, and the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ), led by Christine Fréchette, are now tied for second place at 23 percent each. This marks a one-point decrease for the Liberals and a three-point increase for the CAQ.
Political analyst Daniel Tran noted that the Parti Québécois appears to be holding steady at 30 percent, indicating a solid voter base. Meanwhile, the Liberals and the CAQ are in a close competition at 23 percent, to the detriment of the Québec solidaire party.
In response to the poll, political leaders shared their perspectives. St-Pierre Plamondon emphasized the importance of offering quality and rigorous proposals, while Milliard stressed the upcoming election on October 5 as the ultimate test. Premier Fréchette, when asked about her leadership style, asserted her commitment to Quebec’s interests.
On a separate note, reports suggest that the allegations against the Quebec Liberals and former leader Pablo Rodriguez regarding the use of $100 bills during the 2025 leadership race may not be substantiated. Both Milliard and St-Pierre Plamondon expressed their willingness to await the official conclusions of ongoing inquiries.
