Pierre Poilievre Polls: Can Poilievre manage to beat Trudeau?

In the recent Abacus Data polls, Poilievre and the Conservatives are leading over Trudeau and the Liberals by 36%-29%. The LPC is behind CPC on all the big economic questions and very closely ahead on the healthcare front. There is “no natural Conservative majority in Canada” so what CPC needs to do is to attract a group of voters who wouldn’t usually come together. The Conservatives are picking on federal government spending. According to Poilievre workers are being punished for working and he is going to wage a war on work with its taxes. Poilievre says he wants Canadians to take home more money. He is pushing to cap federal government spending. To relate well with Canadians Poilievre needs to stick to bread-and-butter issues where he can mobilize conservatives from all sections and try to win some votes in the middle.

The latest poll suggests that his public image is still more negative than positive. It is to be noted that the spike in polling for his party is more attributable to the weakness of the Liberal party than any brilliance by the Opposition. Canadians might think that by punishing Trudeau, they may elect a strong, stable Poilievre majority but that wouldn’t be a good place for the Conservatives to be at this stage of the electoral cycle.

To attract middle-class Canadian voters, Mr. Poilievre will have to offer credible strategic solutions to the country’s rising cost of living, the healthcare crisis, and continued reliance on natural resources in the climate change era.

Mr. Poilievre loves to say Canada “feels broken,” which does resonate with young non-conservative Canadians. However, to win their vote the CPC leader will have to show that he is capable of mending the system.
