(Quebec) Encouraged by the latest Léger poll, the Liberal Party of Quebec (PLQ) says it senses a “craze” in its favor among the population.
According to this Léger opinion survey published in the Quebecor media on Wednesday, a PLQ headed by former federal minister Pablo Rodriguez would be first in voting intentions, but if elections took place now, it is the Party Quebecois (PQ) who would form the government.
The needle would therefore move if the activists choose Mr. Rodriguez at the end of the race in June 2025: the Liberals led by Mr. Rodriguez would collect 28% of voting intentions, compared to 26% for the Parti Québécois, while the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) would arrive just behind.
We see that there is enthusiasm, people are following the next race with great interest.

The party of Paul St-Pierre Plamondon would thus collect 32% of the votes, against 24% for the CAQ, 17% for the liberals of interim leader Mac Tanguay, 14% for Québec solidaire and 12% for the conservatives of Éric Duhaime.
