The Parti Québécois is back in power in Quebec, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Quebecers are eager to revisit the question of independence.

According to an election-day survey conducted by Research Co., only 27% of Quebecers say they would vote for independence if a referendum were held today, compared with 58% who would vote to remain in Canada.

Beyond the sovereignty question, the survey also sheds light on how Quebecers voted, their views on Quebec identity, and their priorities for the incoming PQ minority government.
