Support for Quebec sovereignty stagnant despite PQ lead in polls

According to a study by Léger, support for Quebec sovereignty is now 36%. This is the same percentage of support as in August 2023, before Parti Québécois leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon unveiled the party’s budget for Year One of an independent Quebec.

There is currently a 17-point spread between those who support Quebec independence (36%) and those who do not (53%).

The study also found that the Parti Québécois is now leading with 34% support in voting intentions, 12 points ahead of François Legault and the CAQ in second place.
