WASHINGTON — If Canadians could vote in the U.S. election, a majority would choose to send Kamala Harris to the White House.
In a new survey from polling firm Leger, 64 per cent of Canadian respondents said if they could cast a ballot, they’d put their support behind vice-president Harris while 21 per cent would support former president Donald Trump. Fifteen per cent weren't sure what they would do.
The U.S. is Canada's closest neighbour and largest trading partner. More than 77 per cent of Canadian exports go to the U.S and 60 per cent of Canada's gross domestic product is derived from trade. It's expected Harris would follow the path laid by President Biden, who kept tariffs from the first Trump administration despite promises to reverse them. Harris would likely also continue the Biden administration's Buy American procurement rules.
Sixty-two per cent of Canadians said they believe that a Harris victory would be the best outcome for Canada. Most Canadians — 65 per cent — were worried about potential violence and uncertainty surrounding the outcome of the election.
