19 point Conservative lead over Liberals in Abacus poll says Justin Trudeau’s attacks on Pierre Poilievre not working

OTTAWA—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals keep taking punches at Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, but a new poll suggests they aren’t landing.

The Abacus Data survey, provided exclusively to the Star, suggests a 19-point lead for the Conservatives over the governing Liberals, with the support of 43 per cent of those polled compared to 24 per cent.

The three-point jump for the Tories since the last time Abacus surveyed comes as its latest poll shows the government’s approval rating is down by four percentage points, with 59 per cent of respondents saying they disapprove of the job Trudeau’s government is doing.
