The Parti Québécois (PQ) and the Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ) are now neck and neck in voting intentions, according to the latest poll by Léger.
In the Léger-Québecor poll conducted from March 20 to 22, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s PQ and Charles Milliard’s PLQ both garnered 33 per cent of support among decided voters.

This represented a one-point drop for the PQ and a three-point rise for the PLQ compared to the previous poll.
Éric Duhaime’s Quebec Conservative Party (PCQ) appears to have consolidated its third-place position, gaining two points compared to the previous poll, and reaching 15 per cent of voting intentions.
The poll was conducted before Rimouski MNA Maïté Blanchette Vézina officially announced that she was joining the PCQ.
Blanchette Vézina is set to run in the riding of La Peltrie, in the Quebec City region, in the upcoming provincial election.
The Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) lost three points between polls and now sits below the 10 per cent mark.
The party, which is expected to choose its new leader in just under two weeks, garnered nine per cent of voter intentions, as did Quebec Solidaire (QS), whose score remained unchanged from the previous poll.
The Léger-Québecor poll was conducted online among 1,003 Quebecers aged 18 or over who are eligible to vote.
The results were weighted to reflect the Quebec population.
It is not possible to calculate a margin of error for a sample drawn from a panel, but, by way of comparison, a probabilistic sample of this size would have a maximum margin of error of ±3.1%, 19 times out of 20, according to Léger.
