11:01 Focus Montreal: François Legault talks CAQ priorities

François Legault in campaign mode as CAQ leads in polls

Quebecers are heading to the polls Oct. 1, and for the first time in a long time, there is a real race.

A Léger poll released last week shows the province’s second opposition party, the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ),way out in first place.

The CAQ is well ahead of the Parti Québécois (PQ) and gaining ground in every survey on the governing Liberals.

With nine months to go until election day, 39 per cent of voters say they support the CAQ, while the Liberals have slipped to 28 per cent support.

The PQ was up slightly in the latest poll, but just to 20 per cent and Québec Solidaire continues to be the choice of about nine per cent of Quebecers.

On the heels of the poll, CAQ Leader François Legault is energized and in campaign mode.

He joined Global News from Ville Saint-Laurent, where he was touring the offices of ABB Group — a leader in technology, transportation and digitization — to discuss his party’s priorities.
