A majority of Canadians and almost half of those who say they voted Liberal in 2021 would prefer if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau steps down as the Liberal Party of Canada leader before the next federal election.
According to a recent Angus Reid poll, 57% of Canadians say that Trudeau should step down before the next federal election while only 28% say that Trudeau should remain as Liberal leader.
Broken down by the parties Canadians voted for in 2021, 82% of Conservative voters would prefer if Trudeau stepped down, 51% of Bloc Québécois voters said he should step down, and 47% of NDP voters agreed as well.
Trudeau’s support from within his party has been dwindling, as only 44% of 2021 Liberal voters said Trudeau should stay on as leader while 41% said that he should step down.
Justin Trudeau’s approval rating has tied the Prime Minister’s all-time low, as it has dropped to 31% and his disapproval rating has risen to 64%, almost the same level it was at height of the SNC-Lavalin scandal.
Amongst 2021 Liberal voters, only 61% of these voters say they approve of the job Trudeau is doing, equal to the NDP’s Jagmeet Singh’s approval rating amongst Liberal voters.
