Approval among this group, however, has not held a majority since 2018, and is currently down to 37 per cent.“Each party maintains a significant portion of its voters from 2019.
The pandemic public rally is over for Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government in Ottawa.Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic the Canadian public has been rallying to their leaders, giving them high job approval ratings and strong backing in terms of voter support.The latest Campaign Research poll shows not only Trudeau’s job approval numbers coming back down to earth but his voter support dropping below the Conservatives.If an election were held today, the numbers from Campaign Research show the Conservatives would get 33% support among decided voters compared to 30% for the Liberals, 18% for the NDP, 8% for the Greens, 7% for the Bloc Quebecois and 4% for another party.Pollster Nick Kouvalis said in an interview that while support for the leaderless Conservatives had not shot up, they are in the lead because the Liberals have been falling.“After committing to spend well over $600 billion between 2020 and 2021, the Trudeau Liberals have been tanking since the WE scandal broke,” Kouvalis said.The Trudeau Liberals lead in Ontario with 36% of the vote to 33% for the Conservatives, they are effectively tied with the Bloc in Quebec – 31% for the Liberals, 30% for the Bloc – and are in third place in Manitoba. In Canada, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau charted a 74% approval rating and his Liberal party saw an increase in support, with 37% satisfaction overall, a 5% boost since last month. Polls show that Mr Trump’s approval rating has increased by only a couple of percentage points since March 11th, the day the World Health Organisation declared the virus a pandemic.
The alternative is this $$$ going into Ottawa’s pocket – not an improvement in my opinion.”,“If Premier Jason Kenney wants to create jobs then he should cut the bureaucratic middleman and let Albertans keep more of our money in the first place,” says the CTF.Alberta is using money garnered by the provincial carbon tax to create another series of government corporate welfare program to get people back to work.Alberta’s government will invest up to $750 million from the large emitter-paying Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund and other public funding. A new poll suggests that approval ratings for the,After surveying 1,000 Canadians, the Ipsos poll found that Canada-wide approval of Prime Minister.Canada’s approval now sits at 48 per cent, with nine per cent indicating they “strongly” approve and another 39 per cent saying they “somewhat” approve of the government’s performance.Country-wide disapproval of Trudeau’s government still sits higher than its approval rating, however, with 52 per cent indicating their disapproval of their performance, split into 28 per cent “strongly” disapproving and 25 per cent “somewhat” disapproving.Darrell Bricker, Ipsos’ CEO of public affairs, said that the pressure coming off the concern of the Wet’suwet’en solidarity blockades is a combination of several things — the government’s peaceful solution to it, as well as the.“The attention has been drawn away by another couple events that are also, in terms of their impact, pretty unfortunate, but people are weighting his leadership on this and probably will be judging him over the space of the next couple weeks,” said Bricker.Despite the Liberals’ jump in approval ratings, the poll results still indicate what looks like a “regional” divide in results across the country, according to Bricker.Ratings for Trudeau’s government continue to perform poorly across the West with Alberta’s disapproval rating sitting at 70 per cent, and both Saskatchewan’s and Manitoba’s at 68 per cent.Approval ratings for the government look to be highest across the East, however, with Ontario sitting at 54 per cent and Quebec at 50 per cent.“The prime minister’s appeal is regional, so in Atlantic Canada, Quebec and especially in Ontario he does far better than he does in the rest of the country,” said Bricker.“So the divide that was created as a result of the election continues.”.The poll also included updated numbers on Canadians’ views towards the protests, indicating that overall disapproval of the rail blockades is beginning to soften.According to the poll, 56 per cent still have an unfavourable view of the blockades, which is slightly down from 61 per cent.Negative views on the blockades still remain strongest across Western Canada — especially in Alberta and B.C., where disapproval ratings sit at 71 per cent and 63 per cent, respectively.The Ipsos poll also comes at a time of global economic uncertainty stemming from the spread of a new virus that first emerged in China at the start of the year.The spread of COVID-19 — which has since appeared in North American and Europe, resulting in widespread outbreaks in Italy, Iran and South Korea — and an oil production war between Saudi Arabia and Russia have sent world economies on a downward spiral.Monday saw Canada’s main stock index experience its worst day in over 30 years, while the energy sector — heavily situated in Alberta — felt the immediate effects of the oil price drop.“It’s bad news for the Alberta economy on the whole,” said Carleton University research associate Nick Falvo,“With this recent drop, I think people will be starting to say the R-word and they would not be foolish in suggesting that.”.Concerns over the spread of the virus, which has resulted in about 118,000 infections and over 4,200 deaths worldwide, also prompted moments of panic selling which triggered market shutdowns in both the U.S. and Canada.Bricker said that the decline of oil prices can easily worsen the West’s public opinion of the Liberals as well.“The real thing was that this poll was being done just as what was going on economically started to happen,” he said.
The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. A new Angus Reid poll released Tuesday shows Trudeaus’s approval rating has dropped 10 points, and now sits at 33 per cent, right around where it was for most of 2019.
