Prime Minister François Legault is saddened to see that the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) is declining in public opinion, a loss of support for which he takes full responsibility.
Mr. Legault noted the decline of his political party in a Léger poll published Wednesday.
“It certainly pains me to see the drop in support from Quebecers for me. I take full responsibility for it,” he said in a press scrum before question period.
The Prime Minister made the connection between this measure of public opinion and the current economic situation.
“I know that Quebecers are currently suffering a lot from the increase in prices,” he said. And then I’ll try to see how I can help them better. »
A Léger poll carried out for Quebecor media shows that support for the Parti Québécois has increased to 26%, compared to 22% a month ago. This progression seems to be to the detriment of the CAQ which obtains a score of 30%, down 4 percentage points since September 25.
The popularity of PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon is also on the rise. The survey shows that 24% of respondents consider that he would make the best prime minister of Quebec, an increase of 8%.
Mr. Legault lost six percentage points, and slipped into second position with a result of 23% in this category.
These figures were obtained from October 27 to 30 from 1,026 respondents to a web survey. Léger estimates that his margin of error is 3.06%, 19 times out of 20.
