OTTAWA—Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are pulling further ahead of the governing Liberal party in national voting intentions amid a widespread desire for change across the country, a new poll suggests.
The online survey from Abacus Data found the federal Conservatives have climbed to a seven-percentage-point lead over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, up from three points one month ago. The poll comes near the end of a raucous session of Parliament this spring that saw weeks of outrage over alleged Chinese political interference and the government’s response to it, as well as concerns over how best to help people deal with rising costs and debt.
