The Numbers: Are Carney's Liberals losing steam?
One poll is not a trend, but... Well, that's it. There is no but.
Is Mark Carney’s honeymoon in danger of coming to an end? A new poll from Abacus Data suggests the Liberals might have lost some steam for the first time since the April election.
But other pollsters have yet to see this trend. What to make of these new numbers that put the Conservatives marginally ahead?
This week on The Numbers, Eric and Philippe take a look at this new poll — and a few others that muddy the waters, including some not-so-strong numbers for Pierre Poilievre nationwide.
We also discuss the upcoming (second) resignation of Green leader Elizabeth May and a new poll that puts the Parti Québécois in the driver’s seat ahead of the 2026 Quebec election.
We close with a prime ministerial Quiz! Can you beat Eric? (An admittedly tall order.)
