Conducted by the Léger firm for the Parti Conservateur du Québec, the poll shows the Liberals still leading in intentions with 30 per cent of support. The CAQ places second with 28 per cent, while the Parti Québécois is third with 22 per cent. The left-wing Québec Solidaire party is polling at 13 per cent.

The poll of 1,003 Quebecers was conducted from June 12 to 15.

It is the third poll in a row to show the CAQ moving up into either first or second place and the PQ sliding into third.

A Mainstreet poll conducted on May 11 and 12 for the Montreal Gazette and Postmedia showed the CAQ in first at 32 per cent with support for the Liberals at 31 per cent and the PQ at 24 per cent.
