A new Leger poll suggests that if Mark Carney wins the Liberal leadership race, he would significantly decrease the Conservatives' lead, placing the Liberals in a dead heat with the Tories. Carney's potential leadership is credited with a six-point boost in Liberal support, reaching 37 percent, compared to the Conservatives at 40 percent. The poll suggests Chrystia Freeland's leadership would not have the same impact, with Liberal support at 28 percent. Furthermore, Carney is seen as more trustworthy than Freeland in defending Canada's interests against U.S. President Donald Trump.
A new poll suggests that if Mark Carney wins the Liberal leadership race, he would erase the massive lead the Conservatives have enjoyed for the past year and a half.
The poll says the Liberals are currently at 31 per cent support, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are still riding high in majority territory at 40 per cent and Jagmeet Singh’s New Democrats are trailing far behind at 14 per cent. “Chrystia Freeland doesn’t have the same impact on the ballot as Mark Carney would in a head-to-head race with Pierre Poilievre and Jagmeet Singh,” Enns said.When asked who they trust most to defend Canada’s interests from Trump, about 20 per cent of Canadians polled by Leger picked Carney and 20 per cent chose Poilievre. Freeland was the choice of just six per cent of those polled.
