Susan Delacourt: Justin Trudeau’s Liberals are sliding in popularity: ‘These numbers should be a warning’
Trouble for Justin Trudeau’s government has often landed in the early weeks of a new year — Donald Trump, an unfortunate trip to India, a fateful cabinet shuffle, ministerial resignations and of course, three years ago, a global pandemic.
“These numbers should be a warning that they are losing the empathy game,” Abacus chief pollster, David Coletto, says in his summary of the findings. “Many Canadians — including their own supporters — don’t think they are focused enough on the core pocketbook issues and the crisis in health care that are occupying people’s attention. Turning that perception around should be job number one for the government.
Clearly, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre and his team are reading numbers too that speak to a fatigue factor with Trudeau’s Liberals. The two have something else in common, Abacus found — a souring of the mood toward both leaders. While the poll didn’t ask directly about Singh’s deal with Trudeau, the NDP leader doesn’t seem to have benefited from the association.
