The poll is designed to be an early test of a candidate’s ‘winnability,’ not the voting intent of Conservative Party members
Canadians believe former Conservative interim leader Rona Ambrose has a strong “winnability” factor as a potential successor to Andrew Scheer at the helm of the party, a new poll from the DART & Maru/Blue polling group suggests.
This poll is designed to be an early test of a candidate’s “winnability,” not the voting intent of Conservative Party members, said John Wright, a partner at DART Communications. Ambrose trumps MacKay on every leadership category, though, particularly on the question of “who will unite the country” and “who has values closest to my own.” Forty-two per cent of Canadians who are aware of Ambrose think she can unite the country and 36 per cent think she shares their values. Thirty-seven per cent of Canadians think MacKay can unite the country, while 32 per cent think he shares their values.
