Leadership race renews interest in Liberals – particularly under Carney – but CPC still leads comfortably

CPC support remains at pre-Trudeau-resignation levels, more than two-in-five still prefer that party

January 27, 2025 – The Liberal leadership race is still in its early days, but it is renewing interest in the party among voters, especially with the prospect of Mark Carney as leader.

The former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney appears to have an advantage among prospective voters over his main rival in the contest, former Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland. That said, both still have to contend with Liberal Party members and make their case to be the next leader, and both still trail the opposition Conservative Party by a double-digit margin.
