Toronto, September 4th, 2019 – In a

and leaning, 4 in 10 (43%) say they would support the CAQ, unchanged from July
(July 29: 42%).

Liberals, down slightly (July 29th: 22%).

If an election were held today, based on this
result, the CAQ would secure 87 seats, the PLQ would win 28, QS and PQ would
each win 5.

Legault’s net-favourable score

Arcand poorly known
More than half (54%) say they don’t know whether
they approve or disapprove of the job Arcand is doing as opposition leader.
One-fifth (17%) say they approve, while just
under a third (29%) say they disapprove.
Arcand’s net-favourable score
(approve-disapprove) is -12.
“The summer has been kind to
Premier Legault,” said Dr. Lorne Bozinoff, President of Forum Research. “He
continues to govern from a position of strength and is likely bullish about his
agenda for the fall session. If an election were held today, it looks Legault
would actually improve his hold on the National Assembly.”
