The Numbers: A New Polling Low for Poilievre?
Plus: Doug Ford in free-fall, Danielle Smith takes a hit, Susan Holt comes back to Earth, and the Quebec picture remains blurry.
More polls are showing some softening support for Mark Carney and the Liberals, while the NDP moves into double-digits. But the trend line isn’t conclusive — except when it comes to the Conservatives, who have shown little life in the polls with one new survey putting the party at a level not seen since before Pierre Poilievre became party leader.
This week on The Numbers, we take a look at the national polling landscape, which seems to be in a moment of some flux.
Then, we dive into the approval ratings of provincial premiers with the latest Angus Reid Institute report card, including Doug Ford’s dropping support.
We also dissect new provincial polls out of Alberta, where Danielle Smith’s referendum drive might be hurting the UCP, British Columbia, where the B.C. Conservatives are up following Kerry-Lynne Findlay’s leadership victory, and Quebec, where the PQ has opened up a wider lead over the slumping Liberals.
Then, Philippe closes with a 1957-themed Quiz.
