Beauce: Maxime Bernier and CPC Candidate Neck and Neck

A poll of the federal district of Beauce, where Maxime Bernier hopes to win his first election as People's Party of Canada leader, has been published this morning by Mainstreet Research. Mainstreet was on the field November 10th and 11th and collected a sample of 616 Beauce voters. The margin of error is ±4%.

Here are the results among decided and leaning voters: conservative candidate Richard Lehoux (38%) and Maxime Bernier (35%) are in a statistical tie.



Unsurpringly, the Liberals, the Bloc, and the NDP will not be competitive in next year's election in Beauce. However, this Conservative stronghold now looks almost evenly split between Maxime Bernier and the Conservatives.

In 2015, Maxime Bernier won his riding of Beauce with almost 60% of the popular vote, more than 35 points ahead of the Liberals.


This poll will be taken into consideration for the next 338Canada projections, which will be published later this week. Stay tuned.
