Just 31 per cent of people who took the Leger survey last weekend said they support the encampments, while 48 per cent were against the demonstrations. About one in five said they don't know.
In Leger's poll, 44 per cent of respondents said they think the encampments should be dismantled,"as they may be a threat to campus safety and the safety of students." The results of the poll, which surveyed 1,519 people, cannot be assigned a margin of error because online surveys are not considered truly random samples.
Earlier this week, political leaders condemned some of the protesters' actions. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he supports free speech but doesn't support actions that make other students feel unsafe.
