The CAQ Would Win Big If An Election Were Held Today... Even In Montreal
If poll numbers hold, Quebec is potentially looking at another CAQ government. According to a recent poll by Ekos Politics, the CAQ has a sizable majority lead across all regions of Quebec, even in Montreal. The CAQ would win big if an election were held today, polling at 57%.
François Legault should be proud of his party and their dominance, with six on ten Quebecers believing that he is the right man to be premier.

With a 40-point lead over the Parti libéral du Québec (PLQ), according to EKOS, the CAQ has pulled far ahead of the competition.
The once-dominant Liberal party has a paltry 17% share of the popular vote. The Parti Québécois (PQ) is at 11%.
Legault and company have "large leads" in all regions of the province, including Montreal, where they lead the Liberals by 13 points.
Despite receiving some criticism for the recent back-to-school plan and the relaxing of confinement rules, Legault is among the most popular premiers in Canada with a 65% performance rating according to an Angus Ried poll.
The CAQ is most popular in the North Shore and Laval, polling at a staggering 67%.

The CAQ has a strong lead among people over 50 years old and polls high with the 35-49 age group, too.
Young voters, however, seem to be more split between the CAQ (35%) and Québec Solidaire (25%), with only a 10-point difference between the two.
The CAQ also has a huge majority lead (61%) among the province's French speakers.
Anglophones, on the other hand, are most likely to support the Quebec Liberals with 60% saying they'd support the PLQ.

The CAQ also leads in all categories of education level, pulling ahead among high school (60%), college (61%), and university-educated (51%) Quebecers.
If an election were held today, the CAQ would likely win a majority government in a landslide victory.
