Trudeau would take largest number of votes if fall election called, new poll shows

But if there were an election today, 38 per cent of decided voters said they’d support Trudeau’s Liberals, compared to 30 per cent for the Conservatives, 18 per cent for the NDP and six per cent for the Greens.

When asked specifically which party would earn their vote should Erin O’Toole be at the helm of the Conservatives, Liberal support actually bumped up one point while Conservative support dropped to 27 per cent.Article content continued Respondents rated Trudeau by a significant margin as the most decisive, intelligent, and charismatic leader and the best communicator. He was also deemed the most caring and compassionate, although on that score NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh was rated a relatively close second.

He was seen as the leader who’d do the best job getting Canada’s pandemic-ravaged economy back on track by 30 per cent, compared to 20 per cent for O’Toole, 11 per cent for Singh and just three per cent for Blanchet. And he was seen by far as the leader who would best keep Canadians safe from a second wave of the deadly coronavirus that causes COVID-19 .Trudeau last week prorogued Parliament until Sept. 23, when he intends to introduce a throne speech laying out a post-pandemic recovery plan for the country. Trudeau has all but dared opposition parties to bring his government down over the throne speech, which will be put to a confidence vote.

“I think the Conservatives need time,” Bourque said in an interview, adding that Blanchet is the only leader for whom there appears to be no potential downside to a fall election.

What did you just poll the Federal Liberals? I highly doubt anyone with any sense or vision what him back. He’s done more harm to this country than any other PM. The way he’s spending our money we’ll all be living in tents in parks.

Really? The guy who did black face? Or did everyone forget about that.

WannaBet?

Simple: an idiot leading an idiocracy.

Only ones voting for that POS are those who are corrupt crooks as well, the mentally ill, and those who don't believe in working

I dont believe a single one of these polls

What Poll? That is got to be a joke!!!

Liberals = Systemic Corruption

Really? Wow!

We are ready and wateing for them Justin they will loose for sure,

😂😂

God bless Justine Trudeau

Should not come as a surprise, CPC_HQ have not established themselves as a legitimate alternative government. Until they do, this will not change.

Fake poll again. There will be lots of these coming. Bought and paid for by liberal_party

So bring it on!! Lets see what happens!

Ethics scandals are nothing new to voters. Harper was also scandal ridden. Canadians are confident in LPC leadership despite not being perfect, just like all other governments.

Sad that we have so many sheep in Canada who don’t think for themselves! The Liberal Govt is getting people hooked on free money and will promise more free money when they come back and the sheep will line up for it and vote Liberal!

Ya because of all the immigrants in TRAWNA!

Did Justin pay you to say that? DeFundMSM tax payers money well wasted

....now you know how Hitler reaches his power ....with the aid of the corrupt media

Not accurate. PMO propaganda.

I’m here still waiting to be polled. No one calls me. I would love it if someone would poll me. Anyone?

Seriously ppl he’s spending like a drunken pirate looking for grog and women. When the hangover hits, the deficit high, and the world is screaming about our debt; he will lose favor when the vote buying is over!

fake news.

Take that Bloc'ers 😎

Whose votes? Definitely not mine!

Absolute utter nonsense. A poll taken before a new leader is chosen and before a campaign was assembled and launched. Put this back in the oven and let it bake.

Didn’t know we voted for a president. But thanks for the rag poll

Trudeau is going down with Obama and Hillary. Tick tock. Crimes against humanity. Watch.

Thats because erin o toole is a tool.. really really disappointed in the conservatives party right now. They had a chance and blew it is all i have to say about that

Fake news

He wishes Haha JustinTrudeau go smoke another one.

Fake news

Polls are for losers. The difference is answering a question over the phone and what really happens in the booth.

lol

Doesn’t mean he’d win the election.

Oh no!

When a good portion of your nation's citizens depend on Gov't handouts and support, that is the result. They support the Gov't.

Do we have a silent, honest majority?

Media Narative went they dont speak about trump the say liberal will win next election bias media

Are people fukking insane!!!!?

I call BS on that one.

I have never been polled, who do they call?

What’s wrong with Canadians?

Not my vote, Ontario need some teacher, but I will not recommend him for politics teaching.

🖕🏻JustinTrudeau

whittakertp Don’t look at the CPC, none of their issues are self inflicted. It’s always everyone else’s fault that they have made themselves a regional party that has no discernible direction or path forward for Canada besides Trudeau bad. That seems to be working really well.

Canada is doomed

Says the National Post

Lies lies lies and more lies.

After his mistreatment of the Wet'suwet'en, and other First Nations Peoples, his sluggishness to get CERB moving (his attempt to get total control over raising taxes shoe horned in as well), and a myriad of other things, I struggle to see why anyone would want him in majority.

Lot of sick people in our society, perhaps that’s why there are so many calls for more aid for the mentally ill.

Birds of a feather flock together. And vote in their kind.

The poll indicates there are far too many Canadians who have been hoodwinked by the Liberals and the complicit MSM.

Calling BS

FO NP

Bullshit baffles brains

I call bullshit on that one! I don’t want a criminal like JustinTrudeau running this country ever again. He should be in jail!

pulling a clinton on us...no way corruption will win again...lol

anyone else find it suspicious that this article comes out the day after the CPC selects their leader

Canadian Confederation will break & bankruptcy will occur if fall election called, new ie Liberal pollsters poll shows.

Yeah, Ok.

Afraid of losing their taxpayer funded payout. That’s why all the fake news from from the post .

Who the hell would vote for him?

Bull 💩💩💩

And that poll was taken BEFORE the Conservatives had a leader. In any case..... how Imbecilic can some Canadians Be?

You mean after all the scandals & corrupt things this criminal justintrudeau did there are stupid people out there that would still vote for this idiot?

😂😂😂😂

You guys must be trolling Trudeau huh? Kind of like daring him to call an election just so we can kick his ass out of Ottawa.

hard to understand

The poll could be somewhat accurate in the absence of any other leader. The Cons didn't have their convention yet. The NDP doesn't have a leader. The BLOC isn't a national party.

Yep all of alberta is behind the liberals, we love getting ripped off NOT!!!! New poll how much does the national post spout Bull shit....... New poll 100% agree

Yeah, your polls also said Mackay would win easily...

Trudeau is the most corrupt Prime Minister in history. Scandal after scandal, sky rocketing debt, and a none existant economy. Trump created a booming economy contray to what Left news media chose to airs. Read actual facts not what biased media airs.

Your poll is a joke and everyone knows it.

I can show you exactly one one finger how many votes Trudeau would get from me.

Polls can be manipulated, just like statistics... done honestly and equitably... it offers reasonable gauge... so easy to twist the way you want if you have an a agenda... only accurate if you are “honest” 😉

So those people are either brain dead or millionaires. Personally as a working person at an average job I can’t afford Trudeau. My pay cheque buys less and less every day he is pm

He is done. Did not get my vote last time, and will not get it this time.

. . . and we know just how accurate polls have been in last ten years.

This all reminds me of the 1984 book.

It’s the truth. Bring confidence to the throne opposition parties! Or Liberal majority it is. Good governance doesn’t go unnoticed by the population!

Which says a lot about the power of free money.

which 'poll' is that?

Blackface doesn't matter?

😂😂😂ya ok 👌

I guess buying off National newspapers and TV stations with taxpayers money payed off

I hope he does. This screw up of a PM needs full exposure if his career has to end. cdnpoli

Says the FakeNewsMediaClowns

He lost the popular vote last election. Just sayin.

Upcoming Venezuela is Canada created by part time drama teacher, 47% of house hold is net receiver , in other words they get more than they pay. Nothing else is matters just free money for losers.

Yeah right

Trudeau needs to call an election before the bills come due. Then people are going to realize how screwed we are.

Trudeau is Muzzling Democracy...

A new bogus poll you mean.

Stop spreading lies

How many people out there have been called for a response to these polls? Not me. Never. Where do they get participants for these polls.

Pffft, Trudummy ain’t getting mine

Riiiight. 🐑

Bye bye democracy.

TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauCorruption TrudeauCrimeMinister Yourpollisgarbage

Polled south of bloor?

Let's give it a shot. It can't get any worse. Can it?

Fake news

Bull

Bullshit

Give it time, it is a bad time to put these polls out when the opposition just got a new leader. Why this guy has one single vote for him I'll never know. It seems people do not pay enough attention to Canada's politics

Who the fuck did you ask?

What is wrong with Canada, oh right free stuff. What a joke.

Imagine that - when you pay off a whole bunch of people

This marxist government needs to go

Polls mean nothing. If we believed those we would still have a majority lieberal regime or MacKay as CPC leader

If true, Canada is lost.

Canadians are just plain STUPID!!!!! 👎🏼🇨🇦

Let’s see what eventually falls out of the WE mess. If it goes deeper, as it probably will, or the RCMP lay charges, neither Trudeau’s slickness nor Freeland’s fixing will bail them out. O’Toole needs to keep rubbing salt in this gapping, self-inflicted wound.

I call bs

Flat out lie

Yes. Because he’s promised them money.

Which is exactly why the west needs to leave. Majority of votes are in the east, ours do not count

Guess people want corruption...they will lose Alberta, Sask and Quebec over it, but they will still have Trudeau and his family....pay up.

Likely not if A: the citizenry weren't lazy about finding information and B: the media did their jobs instead of protecting the liberal money machine.

Most of the Liberal votes would be from new immigrants who came through Trudeau's Open door using Loopholes in the Immigration system & Fraud Student/Work Visas. All is well set up since 2015. May God help Canada.!

Who did they poll? His pedo friends?

Is this a poll of WE employees?

This doesn’t make sense! How can Trudeau score higher on debt/deficit and economy than the ErinOTooleMP? Even liberal_party would agree that Conservatives are more likely to address deficit. Maybe Canadians just don’t know the CPC leader yet? Help explain this.

FakeNewsMedia FakeNews this is a sample that represents Canada & all Canadians. When you poll 1600 liberals of course the results will be in TrudeauCorruption favour. We are tired of liberallies LiberalCorruption and TrudeauCrimeMinister

🤣🤣🤣

All your polls have been 100 % WRONG!

Falsehoods

Doubt it.

U have got to be effin kidding me right?..

If true, this shows that the majority of Canadians are not aware of the corruption, ethics violations, laziness, and inept governing by the Liberals. Billions have been squandered. Liberal MPs, like infrastructure minister, can't even account for the money.

This must be fake news.

Liberals are just playing their stupid games, taunting opposition while conveniently shutting down committees esp WEscandal & Parliament so they can dream up more bait to dole out for voters. They know NDP will take their side for any freebies. cdnpoli TrudeauMustGo

media lies

How stupid is the media truthfully I can predict liberals get wiped out next election

God, never thought I'd quote Trump but media really is the biggest enemy of the people. Liars. Traitors to truth. At least George Soros is proud

Pathetic...

Sorry... se que de esto no se trata, pero que guapo! 😜

They would vote for a guy who shut down parliament to stop an investigation into his corruption.

Umm, sure....

Money handouts, refugees cost of living being subsidized, and now talk of legalizing heroin and cocaine, it doesn’t surprise me at all that he’s got the support.

Dear Mr Trudeau: Please call an election now!

🤣 not true

He'll lead with climate change while we're in a depression during a pandemic just to confuse people not to focus on his corruption. Total scum and anyone he votes Liberal!

Why is NP using this poll. The poll clear states it useless: 'The online survey of 1,516 adult Canadians was conducted Aug. 21-23. It cannot be assigned a margin of error because internet-based polls are not considered random samples.'

Crazy that people are that dumb still?! TrudeauWorstPM

Yes, YES THEY ARE! No need for lpc voters to all go vote this time...stay home, you got this!

Why, what age demographic is supporting the bone head liberals!

Brace yourselves for a new round of faux scandal and outrage from the Cons.

I’d like to know who they polled. Sure wasn’t me. Won’t be getting my vote.

Let's test that. Everybody, who are you going to vote for if there is a fall election?

Because self identifying 'liberals' who make up their voting base don't care about ethics, hence the many ethics violations, they just care about signaling their 'virtue' of the moment. We're all doomed because of it. Cowards.

Always fun watching Cons melt down when they're faced with the reality that they're not the majority.

If this is true which I don’t believe it is, then the people of Canada are really screwed up !

I was quite surprised with speaking to younger Canadians and how they are concerned with how they are going to pay this debt. They are not happy with JT.

Huh

Sure.

No

An online poll seriously? On line polls are notoriously inaccurate and the national post to print it just proves how they have fallen into national enquirer status.

A lot of very uninformed Canadians . Only way to explain it.

Trudeau wants an election so bad to hide his corruption. These OpEds are written daily to suppress those findings.

A poll done before the CPC leadership selection means nothing.

Wow so fast with your bullshit polls

Your BS poll results will have 1 of 2 effects. Your Liberal Logic, The Joneses are doing it, so we better too. Or, and more Likely, Holy F’k, we can’t let this happen. We’d better get out and vote to stop this Corruption. WEXIT

we seriously need to maintain a minority govt, for the rest of time. It's the only way we get things done on a reasonable level.

lets test your theory.

Because he is listening to what real everyday Canadians want and need and helping bring that forward.

BULLLLLLLLLSHIIIIIIIIIIIT fakenews

say same thing last election!

If that’s the case than Canada is not only misguided, it’s finished. Welcome to Turdeau’s Canazuelastan, it’s best not to neglect your cardio moving forward.

Wexit albertaseparate saskseparate

In your dreams

He bought the National Post too. LOL

BS

Bullshit, propaganda even!

Guess who pays media ?

There are none so blind as those who will NOT see

No one asked me. Trudeau must go.

please resign

How can people choose so unethically?

If he gets re-elected, the blame falls solely and squarely on every liberal voter who overlooks the damage he’s doing to our country and the office of Prime Minister.

Trudeau wants an election while he's still giving away free money to everyone...the last thing he wants is to hold an election when we are in the midst of trying to payback that free money.

young people love to be paid to sit on their asses and collect Trudeau's welfare courtesy of tax payers, but what would you expect years of LEFT WING teachers/ communist coming home to roost. no hope for this post nation state formally known as Canada

notaleader trudeaumustgo JustinTruedouchebag

That’s hilarious

Venezuela North!!!

Not like last elxn

Poll: 'Respondents rated Trudeau by a significant margin as the most decisive, intelligent, and charismatic leader' Intelligent? compared to what? A drinky box type of thing? or A box of rocks? wexit

The fool leading the blind.

Must of conducted this poll in Toronto or Newfoundland !

Here a tip. trudeaucriminalsyndicate ends in 60 days or less. Yes LPC will loose.

So sick of this corrupt Liberal Government!

Bought and paid for by the liberals

National Post, The Star liberal rags on their payroll.

Does anyone want to bet on that ?

Only in Canada

Because he is still throwing tons of money around....

bevrobertson3 Since Trudeau opened up elections Canada to massive voter fraud...I wouldn’t be surprised

You should poll how many Canadians believe the media is full of crap.

How is that news?

Of course he would. With all the problems, he was the only leader in North America making quick positive decisions when it mattered, far from the posturing of all provincial Conservatives in Canada and the US government as well...

I’ll call you bluff! Let’s go to the polls!

If true, hopefully the Liberals agree to call an election this fall as they could earn a majority (good for Libs), and give the other parties an opportunity to test Canadian’s tolerance for what’s been going on under Trudeau’s administration.

For god sakes. O’toole hasn’t even started. This poll is absurd.

that is why he wants to push for a non confidence vote while the pandemic is still going... people are falling for the dangling of the carrot ( money) ... as long as he keeps giving it out people won't think about how it is going to be paid back ...higher and new taxes

Odd the conservatives got more votes and lost the election last time.

If this is true, then Canada is gone. If the society accepts corruption as a way of life, this society is doomed to suppress all truth and eventually rot.

Sad when people find corruption as acceptable

Sure, ok. This is a very easy...BULLSHIT.

Cons fucked up with that joke of a leadership election.

Grasping at straws so you can keep receiving LPC funding. Horseshit

what does this say about our democracy that someone so morally & ethically vapid can still be favourable with a large swath of the country (i.e. ON & QC) it makes us look like a banana republic desperate for a dictator. cdnpoli

And here we think Americans who support Trump are out of their minds! Look in the mirror people.

Didn’t know there was so many idiots in Canada, sorry retract that. Forgot idiot Trudeau flooded Canada with so many immigrants to vote for him

You have got to be freaking kidding me!!!🤬🤬🤬

So the fix is in? Not surprised, the corruption is deep.

Canada has lots of people that say they hate rich elitist white men but will vote for a white elitist white corrupt man. Ok

Especially now with O’Tool as conservative leader. All conservatives had to do was elect a right to center leader and it would have been a wrap last election and the next. Another liberal government to come unfortunately.

To realize what's gonna happen to Canada, we need to be looking at what's happening in Europe. Belarus is a good example.

Is this poll done by same people who had McKay winning the leadership?

FAKE POLLS FROM FAKE MEDIA TO MAKE A CORRUPT GOVERNMENT LOOK GOOD. MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS BOUGHT AND PAID FOR BY THE LIBERALS.

'Trudeau would take largest number of votes if fall election called...,' ...as well as take the largest number of lollipops from children and artificial limbs from our wounded warriors.
