New poll finds Liberals with 14-point lead over Conservatives amid escalating trade war with U.S.
A new poll conducted during a critical period in the Canada-U.S. trade dispute finds the Liberals with a 14 point lead over the Conservatives.
A recent poll by Abacus Data reveals the Liberal Party holding a 14-point lead over the Conservative Party in Canada, marking the largest advantage since Mark Carney became party leader. According to the survey, 47% of committed voters intend to vote Liberal, while 33% favor the Conservatives. Support for the Liberals remains above 50% in British Columbia, Ontario, and Atlantic Canada, while the Conservatives lead in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
The polling firm's data shows a significant shift in public opinion since trade negotiations with the United States collapsed, with Canadians rallying behind Carney's decision to reject the agreement. The Liberal Party has also recently secured three federal byelections. Notably, 68% of Canadians believe the Liberals are best equipped to handle relations with the Trump administration, while 82% hold a negative view of U.S. President Donald Trump.
Despite the ongoing trade dispute, 45% of Canadians think Canada is on the right path, while 41% disagree. Carney's approval rating stands at 54%, with 57% approving of the government's handling of U.S. relations.
