Legault Keeps Sinking in the Polls
Every trend line for the Quebec premier is headed in the same direction: down.
Polls come and go, and seasoned political observers know better than to overreact to a single bad result. But eventually, the numbers stack up, warning signs mount, and the message becomes impossible to ignore.
After a turbulent spring session at the National Assembly in Quebec City, a series of polls have made clear that Premier François Legault’s personal popularity has taken a nosedive. The latest data, from Pallas Data and published by L’actualité last week, not only shows the Coalition Avenir Québec at its lowest support level in over a decade—it also suggests Legault himself has become a serious liability to his party.
