Key takeaways:
Pierre Poilievre’s popularity is dropping across Canada, with 60% of people now holding an unfavourable view of him. Women and younger Canadians are even more concerned, with negative views rising to 63% and 66%, respectively.
Many Canadians feel uneasy about the idea of Poilievre becoming Prime Minister. This concern is strongest among women, who are the most likely to say they are uncomfortable with his leadership.
A growing number of people believe the Conservative Party is hiding parts of their agenda. The poll shows a clear lack of trust, with a majority saying the party won’t be honest about its plans until after the election.
New research from the Angus Reid Institute shows Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre's popularity is sinking, especially among women. According to the poll, 60% of people in Canada now have a negative view of Poilievre. That number is even higher among women—63% say they view him unfavourably. Among younger Canadians (ages 18 to 34), it rises to 66%.
The poll also builds on earlier data from Angus Reid Institute finding that:
“The prospects of a Poilievre government are more likely to induce unease among Canadians, especially women. A majority of Canadians believe the CPC has a ‘hidden agenda’ they won’t reveal until the party is in office.”
