>In our latest national survey (December 21-23^(rd) 2024) we asked respondents which of 6 potential new Liberal leaders would “do the best job representing Canadians interests in negotiating the right trade and overall relationship with the incoming Trump Administration.
>Chrystia Freeland (28%) and Mark Carney (23%) both garnered significantly more support than the other names we tested (Dominic Leblanc, Francois-Philippe Champagne, Melanie Joly, Christy Clark) who ranged between 11% and 14%.
>Carney is basically tied with Freeland among men and Conservative voters, and polls ahead of Freeland west of Ontario. Freeland does better among women, Quebec voters, and has a 6-point lead among Liberals. Christy Clark polls third in BC, and Champagne and Joly poll tied for second in Quebec.
r/Canada seems to think the Liberal Brand is poisoned forever and no left leaning PM (especially Freeland) will ever be elected again.
When you speak to people who aren’t Russian bots, they tend to blame Trudeau much more personally than the Liberal party itself. Both Freeland and Carney would have extremely good shots at winning an election in 5 years.
Freeland in particular has only really been in popular consciousness as a good negotiator for the USMCA, and recently as a rebel against Trudeau
