CTM2007 Quebec Politics Release Quebec Politics in the time of Public Opinion Research Release Date: July 29, 2020 COVID-19: July 2020 update Field Dates: July 14, 2020 to July 20, 2020 STRICTLY PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL 2 Quebec Politics in the time of COVID-19 The COVID-19 outbreak has set off a series of changes in the Canadian political landscape. Since June, attitudes in Quebec are largely holding steady. This includes favourability of Legault and his wide lead over other party leaders as the best option for Premier of Quebec. When it comes to leadership attributes, Legault ranks as the best on all positive attributes such as ‘strong leadership’, ‘competent’, and ‘represents positive change’. Legault and the CAQ now have an 8-point lead over the Liberals when it comes to vote. Today, INNOVATIVE is releasing results from our July 2020 Canada This Month survey. This online survey was in field from July 14th to July 20th with a weighted sample size of 500 Quebec residents. Detailed methodology is provided in the appendix. This report covers key results on how those from Quebec are rating their government’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impacts that is having on more general government approval and provincial vote choice. 3 Government Approval Quebecers are steady on the share who say they approve of the gov’ts handling of COVID-19, with a large majority continuing to approve. General satisfaction with the government remains high and steady since last month.
