According to a new Abacus Data poll, Canadians find Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a lot scarier than Conservative leadership frontrunner Pierre Poilievre.
The survey of 2,700 adult Canadians from July 22-27, released Saturday, is bad news for Trudeau and the Liberals, save for the fact the next election is three years away.
Disapproval of the Liberal government, at 51% compared to 34% approval, is at the highest level the pollster has recorded since Trudeau was elected in 2015.
Only 33% of Canadians think the country is headed in the right direction, eight to 10 points lower than last year.
Disapproval of Trudeau is at 51%, compared to 31% approval, his worst numbers since he was elected in 2015.
Trudeau’s net negative approval rating of -20 among Canadians (51% versus 31%), is far higher than Poilievre’s at -7, despite months of pounding by political and media opponents arguing he is unfit to be prime minister, let alone leader of the Conservative Party.
