Ontario MP Pierre Poilievre remains the heavy favourite to be the next Conservative party leader but he trails opponent Jean Charest for support among Canadians as a whole
A new Leger poll conducted in collaboration with the Association for Canadian Studies suggests 44% of Conservative voters believe Poilievre would make the best party leader. His chief rival, former Quebec premier Jean Charest, is backed by 17%.
Among the remaining candidates, Ontario MP Leslyn Lewis was supported by 6%, Ontario MP Scott Aitchison by 2%, and former Ontario provincial politician Roman Baber by 1%.Article content Christian Bourque, executive vice-president at Leger, said with ballots already being cast, all signs are pointing to a Poilievre win.
About one in seven Canadians polled said a Poilievre victory would make them more likely to vote Conservative in the next election, with only a small fraction more saying the same of a Charest victory.
