The Parti Québécois (PQ) continues to dominate the electorate, but is falling slightly according to the most recent Léger survey.
François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) slowed down its historic fall. Last November, the CAQ’s support returned to a low not reached since they came to power eight years ago.
A web survey was conducted from November 29 to December 2, 2024, among 1,002 Quebecers aged 18 or over, using the LEO online panel. It is not possible to calculate a margin of error on a sample drawn from a panel, but for comparison, the maximum margin of error for a sample of 1002 respondents is +/- 3.1%, and this 19 times out of 20.
The party that forms the government is up three points in the polls.
“The CAQ has repositioned itself a little,” indicates the executive vice-president at Léger, Sébastien Dallaire. “It has risen a little with 24% and the Parti Québécois which is still in a position of control,” he indicates.
For several months, the PQ and the CAQ have maintained the same gap. This time, the PQ drops four points, to 31%.
“There is no big change and it is a return to what we were at the end of summer, beginning of fall,” explains the executive vice-president. The same goes for satisfaction rates. There are still 61% of Quebecers who are dissatisfied with the Legault government.
Intentions are also neutral for liberals, solidarity and conservatives.
Wokism is not very promising
Léger surveyed Quebecers on the statement on wokes by PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. He said that Québec solidaire promotes wokism. The exit of St-Pierre Plamondon divides.
Only 33% of people agreed with his statement, while 22% opposed it and 45% refused to answer.
“We cannot say that this is a statement that is very promising for the PQ,” points out Sébastien Dallaire. Even half of PQ voters do not agree with the leader’s comments.
