According to a new study by the Angus Reid Institute, Prime Minister Mark Carney is considered to be the best candidate to handle Trump’s trade war between Canada and the United States, ahead of Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre by 25 points.
Nationally, Carney sits at 55% support, followed by Poilievre at 30%.
“Prime Minister Mark Carney is preferred over Pierre Poilievre by 25 points in handling the trade and tariff war, and 22 points on Trump’s threats of annexation. On the more purely domestic issues of improving the Canadian economy and health care, Carney also holds a large advantage.”
The Angus Reid Institute conducted an online survey from March 13 to 16, 2025 among a representative randomized sample of 4,009 Canadian adults who are members of Angus Reid Forum.
