Taschereau remains a tight contest between incumbent Étienne Grandmont of Québec solidaire and Parti Québécois challenger Christian Savard ahead of the October 5 Quebec general election, with trader prices reflecting a near-even split amid the riding’s urban, progressive profile in Quebec City. Grandmont benefits from incumbency and the district’s 2022 QS result near 40 percent, while Savard draws on PQ’s stronger provincial polling and shared focus on housing affordability, homelessness, and mobility. Recent PQ candidate turnover—Jeanne Robin’s withdrawal followed by Vincent Marissal’s exclusion and Savard’s late August selection—has introduced uncertainty without clear momentum shift. Aggregated projections show QS and PQ separated by only a few points, with smaller shares for Conservative, Liberal, and CAQ candidates. The September 17 nomination deadline and final campaign weeks could still alter local dynamics through turnout or issue emphasis.
