Pierre 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 since Dec. 2022, at -20%. Just 36% of Canadians have a positive opinion of the Conservative Party of Canada leader.

A study by Léger also found that, while the Conservatives are leading in the polls, less than 1 in 3 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 new report on foreign interference in Canada confirms that a Russian disinformation operation has been producing content with the purpose of ‘boosting support for Pierre Poilievre and undermining support for Justin Trudeau.’” https://t.co/rn5ZwAlXg6
