New Poll: Canada Wants to Give Trudeau the Heave-Heau

Abacus Data, one of the country’s most accurate pollsters, surveyed over 3,500 adults between March 16 and March 24, and found that 41% of committed voters would vote for the Conservative party, 23% would vote for the Liberal party, 19% would vote for the New Democratic Party, and 4% would vote for the Green Party.

“Since the beginning of the year, we have seen stability in vote intentions with the Conservatives consistently in the low 40s and the Liberals stuck in the low to mid 20s,” Abacus reported. The survey found that the Conservatives led with all age groups across the country; interestingly, the Liberal vote rose as the age of voters rose, implying young people are more inclined to see the error of Trudeau’s ways. Only one in four voters thought Canada was headed in the right direction.

59% of voters disapproved of the job Trudeau is doing as prime minister. 58% of voters had a negative impression of Trudeau with only 24% having a positive view, leaving him 34 points underwater, while 38% had a positive view of Poilievre and 34% had a negative impression, leaving him four points to the good. Only a paltry 15% of voters thought Trudeau and his party should be reelected. 52% of voters thought it was time for a change.

To some extent, this is part of the cyclical nature of multiparty parliamentary systems. Trudeau has been in office too long; the Liberals should have changed PMs by this point. But much of this is a direct reflection on the Castro-Lite direction of Trudeau's governance in Canada.
