Content of the article Forum Research poll for the National Post found that plans for the charter have divided the public nearly exactly in the middle with 45% backing the proposal while 49% opposing it and 6% still undecided.



Article content These data indicate a decline in support for the charter. It was previously supported by 58% in Quebec, according to a Forum Poll conducted on August. 24 2012.



According to the survey, 32 percent of Quebecers would like to see the prohibition of religious symbols that are visible, including burkas and yarmulkes, extended to private sector services such as taxi drivers and servers.



Although 75% of respondents agreed that immigration has made the province "strong," half of Quebecers disapproved of multiculturalism and called for new immigrants to the province to abandon their native custom and dress in an attempt to become "more like Quebecers." Only less than half of respondents shared the view that multiculturalism causes tension, and nearly four-in-10 respondents said that Quebec should only accept immigrants from countries that speak French.

CAQ won 19 seats in the 2012 election. However, the poll results indicated that the third-party would receive only four seats "if an electoral election were held today."
