About 34 per cent of Canadians approve of the Trudeau government’s performance, with 51 per cent disapproving, a national survey by Abacus Data found.
This is the highest number on record since Trudeau was elected in 2015 and since the SNC-Lavalin dispute in 2019.
In addition, Justin Trudeau’s approval rating is the lowest number ever recorded, with a 31 percent favorable impression of the prime minister.
Compared to his Conservative colleagues, Trudeau (-21 net score) has a low approval score: Pierre Poillievre (-7) and Jean Charest (-5).
Not surprisingly, 65 percent of conservative Canadians have a very negative opinion of the prime minister, nearly double the national average of 34 percent.
The survey results also show that among former Liberal voters in 2021, only 39 per cent of Canadians had a negative view of Pierre Poilievre.
The poll also shows that if the election were called now, the Conservatives would win 35 percent compared to 30 percent for the Liberals and 19 for the NDP.
It is the first time since 2015 that the Conservatives have held a share of 35 percent of the vote, where they led the Liberals consistently for several months.
But one important takeaway from the survey shows the Conservative Party holding 92 per cent, while making small gains from the Liberals, NDP and some PPC voters, when comparing how Canadians who voted in the 2021 federal election did and would vote now.
