With the upcoming election campaign on the horizon, a recent survey by Léger/Le Journal/TVA reveals that close to half of Quebec voters are still undecided about their choice for the October 5 election.
The poll, conducted from August 7 to 9, shows that 49% of respondents have not finalized their voting decision and may opt for a different party once at the polling stations. In contrast, 48% of participants confirmed that their choice is firm, while the remaining three percent either did not know or chose not to respond.
According to Léger, the ability of political parties to retain their current support and sway undecided voters could significantly impact the election outcome.
In terms of voting preferences, the Parti Québécois (PQ) maintains the lead with 30% support, a consistent figure since the June Léger poll. The Quebec Liberal Party (PLQ) retains second place but has dipped three points to 24%, while the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) stands at 20%, down by one point from June. The Quebec Conservative Party remains at 13% support, securing fourth place, while Québec solidaire has seen a three-point increase, reaching 11% but remains in fifth place in voting intentions.
Léger’s analysis suggests that the impact of Charles Milliard leading the PLQ and Christine Fréchette heading the CAQ seems to be diminishing.
The survey included 998 Quebecers aged 18 or older, eligible to vote, and was conducted online through Léger’s panel, making it impossible to assign a specific margin of error.
