Quebec Liberals hold 55% support among anglophone and allophone voters ahead of October 2026 election, Léger poll finds
If you’re an anglophone or allophone voter in Quebec, the race looks lopsided. The Quebec Liberal Party holds 55% support among decided voters in these two communities, according to a Léger poll conducted ahead of the province’s October 2026 election. That’s more than four times the combined 13% pulling toward Quebec’s two sovereignist options, the Parti Québécois and Québec Solidaire.
Léger was commissioned to survey Quebec’s anglophone and allophone communities specifically, measuring political opinion, party preference and the issues shaping ballot decisions less than a year before Quebecers head to the polls. The results point to a voting bloc that remains heavily consolidated behind one party, even as Quebec’s overall politics have shifted several times in recent months.
Key takeaways
- The Quebec Liberal Party leads decided anglophone and allophone voters with 55% support, according to the Léger poll, making it the dominant choice in this segment heading into October 2026.
- Sovereignist parties combined (PQ and Québec Solidaire) draw just 13% support from these voters, a gap worth watching if you’re tracking whether language politics still divides the electorate along the same lines as past decades.
- Liberal support is stronger in Greater Montreal (57%) than in the rest of Quebec (48%), so anglophone and allophone voters outside the metropolitan region show more openness to other parties.
- If you represent or organize within anglophone-heavy ridings like D’Arcy-McGee, Robert-Baldwin or Notre-Dame-de-Grace, expect these seats to remain safe Liberal territory barring a major shift before October 2026.
- Watch the Quebec Conservative Party’s anglophone numbers closely between now and the vote. They remain modest, but any movement there would signal a real crack in the Liberal monopoly on this vote.
Inside the numbers: how anglophones and allophones plan to vote
Quebec Liberal Party’s 55% lead among decided voters
The Liberal number breaks down unevenly by community and by region. Among anglophones specifically, the party draws 59% support, according to the Léger poll. Among allophones, that figure sits at 52%. Geographically, the party polls at 57% in Greater Montreal, where most anglophone and allophone voters live, and 48% in the rest of the province.
| Voter segment | Quebec Liberal Party support | All other parties combined |
|---|---|---|
| Anglophones | 59% | 41% |
| Allophones | 52% | 48% |
| Greater Montreal | 57% | 43% |
| Rest of Quebec | 48% | 52% |
| Provincial average (anglo/allo combined) | 55% | 45% |
That spread tells you two things at once. First, anglophones back the Liberals more heavily than allophones do, a gap of seven points. Second, geography matters almost as much as language: Liberal strength drops nine points once you leave Greater Montreal, even within the same linguistic communities.
Quebec Conservative Party’s anglophone support and where it’s growing
Éric Duhaime’s Quebec Conservative Party remains a distant also-ran among anglophone and allophone voters, trailing far behind both the Liberals and the CAQ in this segment, according to the poll’s findings. The party built its 2022 breakthrough largely on francophone, rural and pandemic-mandate-fatigued voters, a base that doesn’t overlap much with Montreal’s anglophone West Island or its allophone-heavy boroughs like Saint-Laurent and Côte-des-Neiges.
Still, the poll suggests some softening at the margins. Anglophone voters frustrated with the CAQ’s language and immigration record aren’t necessarily returning to the Liberal fold automatically, and a small slice appears willing to consider the Conservatives as a protest option, particularly outside Montreal where Liberal support is already weaker.
Sovereignist parties combined at 13%: PQ and Québec Solidaire’s weak anglo appeal
Thirteen percent is a striking number given that the Parti Québécois has led general population polling for much of 2025. A Léger survey published June 17 had the PQ leading with 30% support among all decided Quebec voters, according to reporting on Quebec’s political summer. Among anglophones and allophones specifically, that same party barely registers as a fraction of its overall standing.

PQ leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon’s continued openness to a future sovereignty referendum appears to be the dividing line. For a voter base that turned decisively against the sovereignty option in 1995 and hasn’t reconsidered since, that position keeps the door closed regardless of the party’s economic or governance platform. Québec Solidaire fares little better, its left-wing economic program not offsetting anglophone wariness of its sovereignist wing.
Regional breakdown: Greater Montreal versus the rest of Quebec
The nine-point Liberal gap between Greater Montreal (57%) and the rest of the province (48%) comes down to where these communities actually live and how concentrated the vote is. Most of Quebec’s anglophone population clusters in the West Island, NDG and the Montreal West Island suburb
