Approval of Trudeau’s performance at just 33% as Canadians call for parliament to focus on cost of living

Around two-thirds (67%) of Canadians now disapprove of Justin Trudeau's leadership as Prime Minister, an increase of 4 points since June. Approval is at a new low with only one-third (33%) saying they approve of Trudeau's leadership (-4 points since June). 
Pierre Poilievre remains the top pick for Prime Minister among Canadians (45%), while Trudeau lags by 19 points at 26%. Around one-quarter think Jagmeet Singh would make the best Prime Minister, while 6% nationally choose Yves-François Blanchet (25% in Quebec).

The message is clear among Canadians: economic issues dominate the list of items Canadians think members of Parliament should focus on in the upcoming session, with nearly half (47%) selecting reducing the cost of everyday items in their top three.
 

These are some of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between September 5 to 9, 2024, on behalf of Global News. For this survey, a sample of 1,001 Canadians aged 18+ was interviewed. Quotas and weighting were employed to ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the Canadian population according to census parameters. The precision of Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll is accurate to within ± 3.8 percentage points, 19 times out of 20, had all Canadians aged 18+ been polled. The credibility interval will be wider among subsets of the population. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error, and measurement error.
