The federal Conservatives have gained an eight-point lead over the Liberals as over 70 percent of Canadians do not think the minority government is focused enough on addressing the cost of living, housing, or health care, according to a poll by Abacus Data.
The survey, conducted online with 1,500 Canadian adults from Jan. 27–30 and in partnership with The Toronto Star, says if an election were held today, Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives would capture 37 percent of the vote, while the Liberals would get 29 percent, followed by 18 percent for the NDP and 7 percent for the Bloc Québécois.
