A new Leger poll has found that about half of Canadians asked are satisfied with the outcome of the federal election.

The survey, conducted over a three day period, found mixed results over the election of a minority Liberal government, with 52 per cent pleased with the outcome.

Fifty-three per cent of respondents say they had made up their mind in terms of who they would support before the election began.

Tariffs by U.S. President Donald Trump was the leading issue influencing voters (29 per cent), followed by inflation (11 per cent) and health care (7 per cent).

Andrew Enns, executive VP Central Canada at Leger, says Atlantic Canadian voters were more satisfied than some other groups, however the poll found a trend of dissatisfaction among those aged 35 – 54.

He believes that may be due to issues important to that demographic, such as affordability, not getting as much attention in the election as they had hoped for due to the issues south of the border being at the forefront.

Methodology

The results for this wave of research are based on online research conducted from April 29 to May 1, 2025, with a representative sample of 1,502 Canadian adults 18 years of age and older from Leger’s LEO panel. The data was statistically weighted according to 2021 Canadian Census figures.

A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey, but for comparison purposes, a probability sample of 1,502 would have a margin of error of +/- 2.53%, 19 times out of 20.
