NextImg:Poll shows it's too late for the Liberals to save themselves by ditching Trudeau

Despite a fresh round of calls for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign, a new poll shows that the Liberal Party is already too far gone to be saved by his departure.

In a survey published Monday, the Angus Reid Institute found that a clear plurality of respondents were already disillusioned with the Liberals regardless of who was the helm.

“Jettisoning the unpopular prime minister may not do much to improve the party’s electoral fortunes,” concluded an analysis.

According to any number of polls, a huge majority of Canadians are already planning to vote against the Liberals. An Abacus Data poll from earlier this month found Liberal support at such historic lows that the party could be consigned to an unprecedented fourth place in a future House of Commons.

An Ipsos poll from the same period showed that 68 per cent of respondents wanted Trudeau to resign as prime minister.

But Angus Reid pollsters zeroed in on the 37 per cent of Canadians who were still “mulling” a vote for the Liberals in the next election. When asked what was most likely to dissuade them from marking a ballot for the Liberals, only 31 per cent said it was due to dislike of Trudeau.

The most popular reason for Liberal hesitancy — at 48 per cent — was the party’s “lack of progress on issues I find important.”
