OTTAWA — The federal Liberals want their recent cabinet changes to improve their economic message, but new data show Canadians believe the Liberal government is the party the least equipped do deal with economic concerns.
An Abacus Data poll released just hours before Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his overhauled front bench on Wednesday, showed the Liberals 10 points behind the opposition Conservatives. If those numbers held until the next election, they would virtually assure Conservatives of winning the most seats and possibly a majority government, but a deeper look shows the Liberals to be especially weak on pocketbook issues.
