PQ flies high in latest poll while CAQ hits new low in voter popularity
PQ's surge in popularity comes as no surprise to many political observers
In a recent poll conducted by Léger Marketing, the Parti Québécois (PQ) has seen a significant increase in support, while the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) has seen a corresponding decrease. The poll, which was conducted among 1,000 Quebecers, found that the PQ is now the most popular party in the province, with 33% of respondents saying they would vote for the party if an election were held tomorrow. This is a significant increase from the 25% of respondents who said they would have voted for the PQ in a similar poll conducted in May.
The CAQ, on the other hand, has seen its support decline in recent months. In the Léger poll, only 27% of respondents said they would vote for the party, down from 35% in May. This decline in support is likely due to a number of factors, including the party's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and its decision to raise taxes.
The PQ's surge in popularity is likely due to a number of factors
There are a number of factors that may have contributed to the PQ's recent surge in popularity. One factor is the party's new leader, Paul St-Pierre Plamondon. St-Pierre Plamondon is a popular figure among Quebec nationalists, and his election as leader of the PQ has helped to energize the party's base.
Another factor that may have contributed to the PQ's surge in popularity is the party's promise to hold a referendum on Quebec independence. The PQ has long been the champion of Quebec independence, and many Quebecers are eager to see the party take another step towards achieving that goal.
The CAQ's decline in popularity is likely due to a number of factors
There are a number of factors that may have contributed to the CAQ's recent decline in popularity. One factor is the party's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CAQ has been criticized for its slow response to the pandemic, and for its decision to impose a number of restrictions on businesses and individuals.
Another factor that may have contributed to the CAQ's decline in popularity is the party's decision to raise taxes. The CAQ raised taxes on a number of items, including gasoline, alcohol, and tobacco. These tax increases have been unpopular with many Quebecers, and they may have contributed to the party's decline in popularity.
The PQ's surge in popularity is a sign that the party is well-positioned to win the next election
The PQ's surge in popularity is a sign that the party is well-positioned to win the next election. The party has a popular leader, a clear message, and a strong base of support. The CAQ, on the other hand, is struggling to maintain its popularity. The party has been criticized for its handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and for its decision to raise taxes. If the PQ can continue to build on its recent surge in popularity, it is well-positioned to win the next election.
