Canada’s Trudeau, far behind in polls, remains the Liberals’ best chance

OTTAWA, Oct 11 (Reuters) – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has had a tough year at home and on the global stage, pushing his support as low as it has ever been, but his backers still see him as the Liberal Party’s best chance to secure a historic fourth term in the next election.

Trudeau, 51, has defied low polling numbers before, to win three elections, starting in 2015. A federal election is not due until October 2025, a decade after he first took power. Right now, most opinion polls show Trudeau significantly trailing his newest rival, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
