In this week’s video, John Ivison is joined by Abacus Data CEO David Coletto to discuss Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent comments that the polls should be disregarded because Canadians are not yet in “decision mode.”

Trudeau told CBC’s David Cochrane that what voters tell a pollster, “if they ever manage to reach you,”  is very different from the choice they will make come election time.

Abacus has just released a poll that has the Conservatives 20 points ahead and the Liberals with their lowest vote share since October 2015. Coletto said Trudeau may just be trying to bolster morale among Liberal supporters by telling them things aren’t as bad as pollsters are saying.
