A Forum poll conducted on Monday indicates the Liberal party is the frontrunner with one week to go before the election.

According to the poll 41 percent of Quebecers support the Liberals, followed by the PQ at 29 percent, the CAQ at 19 percent and Quebec Solidaire with 7 percent.

Compared with the previous Forum poll, which was conducted on March 19, it shows Liberal and PQ supporters have been switching their allegiance to the Coalition Avenir Quebec.

The poll also includes a linguistic breakdown indicating that 39 percent of decided francophones support the Liberal party while only 30 percent prefer the PQ.

This is the only poll by any firm during the election campaign to show more francophones supporting the Liberals. Every other poll has shown around 40 percent of francophones prefer the PQ, with about 30 percent supporting the Liberal party.

The telephone poll surveyed 854 people on March 31, 2014. It has a margin of error of 3 percent, 19 times out of 20.
