Declining approval ratings for Prime Minister Mark Carney and his Liberal government have the Opposition Conservatives leading in popular support in a nationwide poll for the second time in as many weeks.
Carney’s approval rating is down six points to 51 percent, while Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives top the governing Liberals by 2 percent in voter intentions, according to a newly released survey from Angus Reid. Forty percent of Canadians polled said they would vote Tory compared to 38 percent who would cast a ballot for the Liberals.
