Poilievre's poor favourability will cost the Conservatives come election time

Poilievre’s poor favourability will cost the Conservatives come election time

A new study by the Angus Reid Institute has found that net favourability of Pierre Poilievre has reached its lowest point in over a year, at -16%. Just 36% of Canadians have a positive opinion of the Conservative Party of Canada leader.

A previous study by Léger also found that, while the Conservatives are leading in the polls, just 26% of Canadians believe Pierre Poilievre is the best choice for prime minister.

The fact remains that Pierre Poilievre is just not that likeable. He rubs most Canadians the wrong way and a large majority don’t want to see him become prime minister.

As a result, support for the Conservatives will decrease as the election approaches, and as more light is shed on right-wing foreign interference scandals.

“A large majority of Canadians don’t want to see Pierre Poilievre become prime minister.”
