Trudeau’s Liberals gain support at expense of Poilievre’s Conservatives, poll suggests

OTTAWA — Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre tried to boost his MPs’ morale with bags of fast food during a marathon voting session he forced over the weekend, but during that same session, public opinion was souring on him, a new poll suggests.

The latest Abacus Data survey — provided exclusively to the Star — reveals a five percentage point drop in support for Poilievre’s Conservatives, an increase in those who have a negative opinion of Poilievre and a move away from him among those who think it’s time for a change in government.
