Plante less popular than a year ago

It’s probably inevitable that, after a year, a Journal/Léger poll shows Valérie Plante clocks in as less popular than a year ago when she was elected, although given the numbers, she’d still be re-elected today.

Says 68 per cent of those surveyed are unhappy with driving conditions and half complained that taxes are too high – well, a lot of the driving problems aren’t municipal but are because the MTQ is rebuilding the Turcot, so Plante can’t fix those. And everyone always complains about taxes.

I wonder if the responders were asked whether they had voted. A lot of them didn’t know who Luc Ferrandez is, let alone Lionel Perez.
