Polls ahead of Quebec's September 2026 provincial election show the Parti Québécois is favoured to win.[^1]

The party has publicly vowed to hold a third independence referendum if it wins the election.[^2]

Separate national polling conducted by consulting firm Escenarios in September 2026 found the officialist coalition retains only 50.5% of the voters who supported Javier Milei in the 2023 presidential election.[^3]

No cross-border market pricing for either election outcome was available in the published data.
