According to the results of new polling from Nanos Research, Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre is the preferred prime minister for 30 per cent of Canadians. But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau isn't far behind, sitting at 29.8 per cent.
It's virtually neck-and-neck between Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre as the preferred prime minister in the minds of Canadians.
"So basically, this is the improvement for Pierre Poilievre here in the wake of the leadership and his real numbers," said Nanos. "We basically have a coin toss between Pierre Poilievre and Justin Trudeau as to who Canadians would prefer as prime minister today in the weekly Nanos tracking." In a survey for The Globe and Mail, Nanos also asked Canadians, in an open-ended survey, what they thought were positive and negative qualities of Trudeau and Poilievre.
However, 12.4 per cent said they thought the current prime minister did a good job handling COVID-19, while 11.9 per cent said they liked his policies on social matters including health care, Indigenous issues, and cannabis legalization. For Poilievre, 5.7 per cent said he cares about Canadians and 5.6 per cent called him a good speaker.
