Just one month after Quebecers voted for their new government, 51 per cent are already saying they’re “dissatisfied” with what they’ve seen so far, according to a Pallas Data Quebec poll. By comparison, 24 per cent (+3) said they were satisfied, and 25 per cent (-3) were neutral or unsure. Despite the provincial election on Oct. 5, Quebecers’ level of dissatisfaction has not changed since the previous poll, taken in September when Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) Leader Christine Fréchette was premier. However, the level of satisfaction increased from 21 per cent when Fréchette was in charge to 24 per cent following Parti Québécois (PQ) Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s election.
