Pre-Election Poll: 75% Of Canadians Despise Trump

Politico reports:

Three quarters of Canadians dislike President Donald Trump — and Conservatives appear likely to pay a painful price for it in the country’s Monday election, according to a POLITICO/Focaldata poll of Canadian voters. About two in five voters (39 percent) told Focaldata, a U.K. pollster, that Trump was a top concern in the election, second only to cost of living (60 percent).

Since Trump’s return to the White House — and Justin Trudeau’s exit as Canada’s prime minister — the Conservative Party led by populist Pierre Poilievre has watched a 25-point polling lead disintegrate in front of its eyes. Conservatives now trail in most surveys, including the POLITICO/Focaldata poll.

Canada’s election has transformed into a test of Trump’s political influence beyond the United States. In a backlash against his threats and trade war, about half of Canadians now consider the U.S. as a hostile power, a dramatic turn among moderate and Liberal-leading Canadians. Nearly half of voters, 45 percent, said Trump’s actions have influenced their vote choice “moderately” or “a great deal,” with a strong partisan gap.
