A new Ipsos poll for Global News finds 40% of Canadians prefer Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre as Prime Minister over incumbent PM Justin Trudeau at 31%. This indicates Conservatives have a high chance of winning the 2025 elections. Poilievre leads on public perception regarding plans on key issues like the economy, healthcare, and housing. On India-Canada tensions over Trudeau's allegations on the Nijjar killing, Poilievre said the PM should 'disclose all facts'. With NDP's Jagmeet Singh (a Khalistan sympathiser and Trudeau’s coalition partner) slipping too, the poll gap suggests Conservatives could gain majority if elections are held today, highlighted by Poilievre's edge over unpopular Trudeau.
