With 43 per cent of voting intentions among francophones, François Legault’s CAQ could form a “clear majority” government, according to Jean-Marc Léger, president of the polling firm.

Only nine per cent of respondents believe that PQ Leader Jean-François Lisée would make the best premier, tied with Manon Massé and Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois, co-spokespersons for Québec solidaire.

Fully 29 per cent say Legault would make the best premier, while 17 per cent say Premier Philippe Couillard is the best leader.

The poll was conducted online among 1,010 Quebecers between Nov. 27 and 30.
