Favourability of Donald Trump decreases with education

A new study by the Angus Reid Institute has found that just 20% of Canadians have a positive opinion of Donald Trump, with favourability of Trump decreasing with education.

The study found that Donald Trump currently has 24% favourability among Canadians with a high school diploma, and 23% among college and trade school graduates. Just 12% of Canadians with university degrees have a positive impression of Donald Trump. (For the complete table of results, please see page 2 in the report here.)

Favourability of Donald Trump is significantly higher among men (27%) than it is among women (14%), and among Conservatives (45%) than it is among Liberal (3%) and NDP (2%) voters.

Overall, 68% of Canadians have a negative opinion of Donald Trump. Net favourability of Trump in Canada sits at -48%.

The study also found that just 5% of Canadians want Canada to join the United States.
