The poll found that only 16 per cent of respondents believe Legault should seek another mandate, underscoring a sharp decline in his popularity after seven years in power.
Premier François Legault says he intends to keep fighting for Quebecers, despite a new poll showing that more than 80 per cent of voters do not want him to run in next year’s provincial election.
The La Presse survey found that only 16 per cent of respondents believe Legault should seek another mandate, underscoring a sharp decline in his personal popularity after seven years in power.
“I will continue to fight for Quebecers,” Legault said Wednesday when asked about the results.
