PQ's Support Surges Without Referendum Promise

0:00A fresh poll out of Quebec drops a bombshell. If the party KBQA ditches plans for another independence referendum, their support jumps to 39%. That would put them way ahead of the Liberals at 25% with the coalition-adventure Quebec trailing at 14% Quebec. Conservatives at 13% and Quebec Solidar at 7%. The provincial elections set for October, so this hypothetical is stirring up the scene. Right now, without that referendum promise off the table, the race is tighter. PQ leads at 31%. Liberals close behind at 28%. CAQ at 17%. Conservatives at 14% and QSAT. 8%. Poles keep showing most Quebecers aren't keen on another vote, with independent support steady at 35%. Folks are reacting to the shifting sands, especially with new leaders shaking things up. The CAQs rebounding under fresh Premier Christine Frichette, who just got sworn in last Wednesday after winning the party leadership.

Their 28% is down five points from the last poll, and that was before his flip-flop on. Using the notwithstanding clause for Bill 96. The Legae poll hit 1,030 Quebecers from April 17th to 20th, accurate within plus or minus 3.05 percentage. Points. 19 times out of 20. PQ boss, Paul St. Pierre, Plamondons, unlikely to drop the referendum pledge. It's core to their pitch, but he's commenting on this poll today. With October looming, these numbers got everyone watching, how the parties pivot before the votes drop. That wraps Canada News today, brought to you with AI.
