Back to EpisodesCanada's next election will be a battle of the disliked vs. the hated
Description
When a leader sticks around a long time, it's natural that his popularity declines. That's how politics goes. But as Justin Trudeau heads towards a decade in power, there's a big chunk of Canadians who do more than just disapprove of him. They loathe the man.
Meanwhile, Trudeau's top challenger, Pierre Poilievre, hasn't led the Conservative party very long, but he's still managed to rack up impressive unfavourability numbers in a short amount of time.
What's fascinating is what the data reveals about who dislikes Poilievre, and who really hates Trudeau, and why. And what those numbers can tell us about the next election, and the political makeup of Canada in 2023.
