Approval of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dropped and decided voters are more likely to vote Conservative.

That’s according to the latest polling results of the Angus Reid Institute, which canvassed almost 5,000 Canadians.

They say weeks of questions over potential foreign interference in Canadian elections, and the federal government’s handling of the issue, have taken a toll on the Prime Minister’s public perception. The Institute states that Trudeau’s approval has dropped six points in the last three months to 37 per cent.

In fact, they say the Liberals are trailing in voter intent almost everywhere in the country with 35 per cent saying they would vote for the Tories, while 29 per cent would vote Liberal.

That said, however, public perception of Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is a challenge, with the Institute noting that one-third of those asked have a favorable view of him.

They say men are more likely to vote for Poilievre than women. Forty-three per cent of men asked have a favorable view of the man, compared to 25 per cent of women.
