Feelings of “satisfaction” among Canadians regarding the federal government has reached an “all-time low,” according to a new poll, with one in three Canadians saying they feel “anger” toward the Liberal government.

The national survey, conducted by the firm Nanos and released on April 17, said that just 11.3 percent feel “satisfied” with Ottawa and 10.4 percent reported feelings of “optimism.” The numbers have dipped since a previous poll in September 2023 when 15.3 percent expressed satisfaction and 12 percent reported optimism.
