Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre has the support of the majority of Conservative voters, a new poll suggests, as he approaches a leadership review in early 2026.

According to Nov. 30 polling from Abacus Data, 66 percent of Conservative voters say they would vote to keep Poilievre as leader, while 22 percent would vote to replace him, and the remainder were unsure. Among decided Conservative voters, 75 percent would vote to keep Poilievre at the helm. “This 42-point margin suggests that Poilievre largely retains the confidence of his party’s base, although not universally,” said Abacus Data founder and CEO David Coletto in a release on the poll.
