PQ in the lead, QS loses support: new Léger-Québecor poll

A new poll shows Québec solidaire (QS) is losing support, with 12 per cent of voting intentions.

The Léger-Québecor survey, conducted from May 10 to 13, shows QS down by six percentage points compared to a previous poll in March.

The drop comes as the party faces an internal crisis after co-spokeswoman Émilise Lessard-Therrien resigned last month.

QS had 18 per cent of voting intentions two months ago, according previous Léger surveys.

These are QS’s lowest voting intentions since February 2022, according to Le Journal de Québec.

The party is now neck and neck with the Conservative Party of Quebec, also at 12 per cent, according to the most recent Léger-Québecor poll.

The Parti Québécois (PQ) is down two percentage points compared to April, but remains well ahead with 32 per cent of voting intentions. The governing Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) is at 22 per cent. The Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) has 17 per cent of voting intentions.

Léger-Québecor surveyed 1,031 Quebecers aged 18 or over.

The maximum margin of error for a sample of 1,031 respondents is ± 3.05%, 19 times out of 20.
