As questions loom over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s leadership, a new Nanos Research poll commissioned for CTV News says a quarter of Canadians say none of the potential Liberal leadership candidates appeal to them.
The survey offered people a selection of potential candidates to lead the party, including the current leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and a range of cabinet ministers and other high-profile Canadians. Of those polled, most selected “none of the above.”
The poll also found that among those surveyed, former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney is the most appealing leadership candidate with 18 per cent support, followed by Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland who are tied at 11 per cent.
Carney is currently serving as the Liberal party’s economic advisor and has said he plans to enter elected politics but won’t say when or what job he wants.
Bruh, have you seen the polling? PP as PM is a foregone conclusion, despite what I might want.
And he’s also going to tell Trump to fly a kite. They can go together and make a day of it. They’ll laugh and bond and throw rocks at minorities. It’ll be a grand occasion!
There’s potentially a lot of time before the next election, and campaigns matter.
Things look bleak, but I don’t think I’d call it a “foregone conclusion.”
Aren’t we due for an election in 2025?
