This includes 91 per cent of past Conservative voters, 62 per cent of past NDP voters and 46 per cent of those who have voted Liberal.
The polling, which was conducted between Feb. 23 and 25, found that two-thirds of Canadians believe that Beijing likely attempted to interfere in Canada’s elections in 2019 and 2021.
While 65 per cent of Canadians believe that China “definitely” or “probably” attempted to interfere in the 2021 election, Conservatives are the most likely, at 50 per cent, to hold a definitive view, while just 24 per cent of Liberals, 23 per cent of New Democrats and 31 per cent of Bloc Québécois voters say so with such certainty.
While a significant majority suspects or believes China’s interference in Canada is happening, the number who believe this constitutes a “serious threat to Canadian democracy” is 53 per cent — 12 percentage points lower. In fact, 23 per cent of Canadians say the issue is being “overblown” by politicians and the media.Article content
