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

According to 338Canada, the Liberals are now projected to win a majority in the next federal election.

A new study by the Angus Reid Institute has found that 60% of Canadians have a negative opinion of Pierre Poilievre, including a large majority of women (64%) and Canadians aged 18 to 34 (64%). Just 36% of Canadians have a positive opinion of the Conservative Party of Canada leader.

Conversely, 54% of Canadians have a positive opinion of Liberal Party leader Mark Carney, whose net favourability sits at +15% — 39 points higher than that of Pierre Poilievre.

Carney also leads Poilievre by 65 points as the best candidate to handle Trump’s tariff threat.

A previous Angus Reid study found that 90% of new Liberal voters say they have a negative opinion of Pierre Poilievre. Half of former Conservatives cite Poilievre as the factor that drove them away from the CPC.

The fact remains that Pierre Poilievre is divisive, 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 continue to decrease as the next election approaches.
