Conservatives still frontrunners but ‘hemorrhaging’ support to Liberals: Nanos survey (www.ctvnews.ca)

The federal Liberals are making significant traction at the expense of Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives following Justin Trudeau’s resignation, according to the latest Nanos Research ballot tracking released Tuesday.

“We do this every week, (and) what’s clear is that Conservative support is now hemorrhaging to the Liberals,” said Nik Nanos, chief data scientist for Nanos Research, on the latest episode of CTV News Trend Line.

“If you remember back just before Justin Trudeau stepped down, the Conservatives had a whopping 27-point advantage,” he said. “(It) was like 47-20 for the federal Conservatives.”

“There’s probably a lot of Liberals in that group,” he said, “but what we’re seeing is a significant shift where now the ballot numbers are 38-30 between the federal Conservatives and the federal Liberals.”

Kevin O'Leary enters the chat, unable to disguise his hatred for the working class

Ask him who was really driving the boat. 🤔

Kevin O’Leary is a traiter to Canada in my opinion.

Going to the US to “negotiate” the annexation of Canada is disgusting.

I gotta say I didn't have "Trump unites Canada behind Trudeau(or whomever takes over)" on my apocalypse bingo

It would be if you'd figured on being in the Biff-Timeline, but sadly none of us did, so this shit will keep happening until we can fix it Marty!

This is really going to start to snowball come March when Carney is picked as Liberal leader. He comes from a background of money management (governor of the Bank of Canada & England) and is well liked by both liberals and moderate conservatives.

I suspect that the liberals are going to pull up to a tie with the cons by the fall election, but we shall see.

I don't think we'll have to wait till fall for an election thanks to Jagmeet. Also, I really hope you're right (about the snowball effect caused by Carney). I'm really anxious about this just being another Kamala Harris effect...

I think Canada will learn from what happened in America and what's happening right now with Trump wanting to annex us. Polls say very few Canadians accept that ... so it should be enough to avoid the Harris effect.
