The results suggest the Liberals' popularity has declined since one year ago, when Trudeau was re-elected for a second time to form a minority government
OTTAWA — A new poll suggests a plurality of Canadians still believe Justin Trudeau is still the best man for the job of prime minister, but he has only a slight lead over new Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre.
Another 23 per cent of respondents said they would pick the NDP, an increase from the nearly 18 per cent recorded in the election. When it comes to who would make the best prime minister, however, the data suggests Trudeau has the edge over both Poilievre and the NDP's Jagmeet Singh. The new poll comes 10 days after Poilievre was elected to lead the Tories in a landslide win, which many in the party hope signals the beginning of a unified Conservative party.
