Pallas Data Poll: CAQ Trails Behind in Latest Survey
A recent poll conducted by Pallas Data reveals the significant decline in support for the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ). The survey was carried out from January 9 to 10, 2026, and commissioned by Qc125 and L’actualité. Findings show that the CAQ has reached its lowest approval ratings, tied with Québec solidaire (QS) at just 11% of voter intentions.
Pallas Data Poll Results: CAQ Trails Behind
The survey indicates that Prime Minister François Legault’s personal approval rating remains historically low. With only six months left before the summer break and the upcoming election campaign, the CAQ struggles to maintain its standing.
Key Findings of the Poll
- CAQ: 11% support, last place in voter intentions.
- Parti Québécois (PQ): 34% support, maintaining the lead.
- Parti libéral du Québec (PLQ): 24% support, currently without a leader.
- Parti conservateur du Québec (PCQ): 16% support, their best score recently.
- Québec solidaire: 11% support, showing slight improvement.
Data shows a decline for PQ of two points since the last Pallas Data poll in November, yet they still dominate with substantial support, particularly among Francophones. The CAQ’s drop in popularity has placed them behind all parties outside of major metropolitan areas.
Voter Sentiment and Leadership Approval
The public perception of party leaders reflects a challenging political climate. The poll indicates that a staggering 75% of respondents hold an unfavorable view of François Legault, contrasting sharply with only 12% who view him favorably.
- Legault: -63 net approval rating.
- Ruba Ghazal: -25 net approval rating.
- Éric Duhaime: -41 net approval rating.
- Paul St-Pierre Plamondon (PQ): 35% favorable, -8 net approval rating.
- Charles Milliard (presumed leader of PLQ): 20% favorable, 33% unfavorable.
This survey demonstrates the current discontent among Quebec voters regarding their political leaders. The Pallas Data results illustrate a significant hurdle for the CAQ as they look ahead to the October election.
Survey Methodology
The Pallas Data poll involved a random sample of 1,128 Quebec residents aged 18 years and older. The data was collected via interactive voice response technology through phone calls on both landlines and cell phones. The margin of error for this survey is ±3%, accounting for a 95% confidence level.
As the political landscape continues to evolve, the situation for the CAQ and François Legault appears increasingly precarious. Time is running out as parties prepare for the upcoming electoral battle.
