Pierre Karl Péladeau hasn’t confirmed his candidacy for the Parti Québécois leadership race. But poll results published in Saturday’s Le Devoir showed that if Péladeau were at the helm of the party, the PQ would lead the governing Liberals in voter intentions.

The Léger-Le Devoir poll asked respondents which party they would vote for if the various PQ leadership candidates led the party. For a PQ led by Péladeau, 36 per cent of respondents said they would vote for the party, compared with 30 per cent for the Liberals and 19 per cent for the Coalition Avenir Québec.

Three other PQ leadership hopefuls didn’t fare as well in the poll on that question. A PQ led by Bernard Drainville, Alexandre Cloutier or Jean-François Lisée each placed third in voter intentions behind the first-place Liberals and second-place CAQ.

Péladeau is expected to announce his candidacy for the PQ leadership race this month.
