The provincial Liberal Party is also leading the polls, jumping nine points to 38 per cent, beating out the Parti Quebecois, which currently has 25 per cent support, and the Coalition Avenir Quebec, which has 22 per cent.

“Only 30 per cent of Quebecers think the province is going on the right path,” Youri Rivest, the vice-president at CROP, told Global News.

“Only 30 per cent of Quebecers are satisfied with the government, so the other party can take advantage of this dissatisfaction and disenchantment.”

The CROP poll surveyed 1,000 people between April 17-22, 2013.
