This is the highest number since Trudeau’s election in 2015 and the SNC-Lavalin dispute in 2019. Additionally, Justin Trudeau’s approval rating is at an all-time low, with a 31 percent favorable impression of the prime minister. Compared to his conservative counterparts, Trudeau (-21 net rating) has a low approval score: Pierre Poulievre (-7) and Jean Sarres (-5). Not surprisingly, 65 per cent of Conservative Canadians have a very unfavorable view of the prime minister, which is almost double the national average of 34 per cent. The poll’s findings also show that among former Liberal voters in 2021, only 39 per cent of Canadians had unfavorable views of Pierre Poilievre. The poll also shows that if an election were called now, the Conservatives would win 35 per cent compared to 30 per cent for the Liberals and 19 for the NDP. This is the first time since 2015 that the Conservatives have had a 35 per cent share of the vote where they have consistently led the Liberals for several months. But a key finding from the poll shows the Conservative Party holding 92 per cent while narrowly winning the Liberals, the NDP and some PPC voters when comparing how Canadians who voted in the 2021 federal election and how they would vote now.
