Recent polling averages place the Parti Québécois at roughly 29 percent support ahead of the October 5 election, with the Coalition Avenir Québec closing rapidly to 24–27 percent under leader Christine Fréchette. Seat projections from models such as 338Canada and Poliwave translate this into a likely PQ plurality of 45–48 seats but only a 9–12 percent probability of reaching the 64-seat majority threshold. The CAQ’s gains among francophone and older voters, combined with continued Liberal and Conservative strength that fragments the non-PQ vote, have produced numerous tight ridings. Ongoing campaign dynamics and voter concern over economic stability have further narrowed the PQ’s path, supporting traders’ current assessment that a majority remains unlikely.
