Liberal support has decreased by five points since September 2024 and is now on par with NDP support which has increased by five points over the same period. Conservatives are comfortably in the lead and would still enjoy a decisive victory if an election were held tomorrow (-1 pt since September 2024). Only 23% (-5 pts) overall think Trudeau deserves re-election, and 77% (+5 pts) think it is time for another party to take over. Speculation that a Liberal recovery would start with the Prime Minister being the best equipped to deal with newly re-elected President Donald Trump has little merit, as only 22% believe Trudeau would do the best job of representing Canada with the new Trump administration. Poilievre (34%) leads Trudeau on this measure by 12 points. These are some of the findings of an Ipsos poll conducted between December 6 and 10, 2024, on behalf of Global News. For this survey, a sample of 1,001 Canadians aged 18+ was interviewed online. 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.
