Canada’s Trudeau Is Plunging In Polls, Conservatives Ahead

Another new poll has found Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, 47, the head of the Liberal Party, in serious trouble: The Nanos Research poll, released Tuesday, found that if elections were held now, the Liberal Party would lose control of the government and Trudeau would be out, the first prime minister to do so holding a single majority mandate in almost 100 years.

The Nanos Research poll showed Conservatives garnering 34.9% of respondents; Liberals 32.8%, and the New Democratic Party 16.6%. In March, an Ipsos poll found Conservatives with 40% and Liberals with 30%. Since the start of 2019, the Liberals have plunged six percentage points, according to Reuters.
