31% of Canadians agree that Poilievre would be most likely to “roll over and accept whatever President Trump demands,” followed by Justin Trudeau (22%) and Jagmeet Singh (9%). Just 6% of Canadians say they same about Liberal frontrunner Mark Carney.

This is a major reason I bet that Carney will wipe the floor with him in a general election.

Trudeau hasn't rolled over any of Trump's shit so far...

[–] avidamoeba 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah but Trudeau is Trudeau so... 🥹

Don't forget Freeland at 4%.

[–] avidamoeba 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, but she polls more than 15% behind Carney among the general public in the leadership race. It's why I didn't mention her.

E: As for federal election polling, here's the last Mainstreet numbers from two weeks ago:

Will post again when new numbers drop.

On what? Last I checked her favourability was close to neutral, and the boost from nominating Carney vs. her was more like 5%.

The leadership race, numbers in Wikipedia from Leger and Mainstreet. Check my edit for general election numbers.

Am I blind, or does that show 5%? From 34% to 39%.

15% would change my perception of the whole race significantly.

Edit: Maybe you mean the numbers from the question (when asked by Mainstreet) "If you could vote in the Liberal leadership race who would you vote for?", which are in the table at the bottom of the wiki. The gap there is actually in the 20's as of a couple weeks ago, which is interesting.

Yeah, the large gap was about the leadership election.
