OTTAWA—The far-right People’s Party of Canada could have more national support than the federal Green party, according to an analysis of polling data for the ongoing election campaign.
The analysis, which is dubbed The Signal and conducted for the Star by Vox Pop Labs, shows the People’s Party with 4.5 per cent support nationally, compared with 3.4 per cent for the Greens.
Based on that, the Signal forecasts for the first time that the People’s Party could win one seat in the House of Commons: the Quebec riding of Beauce, where People’s Party Leader Maxime Bernier is running in a “toss up” race with the local Conservative incumbent.
Ooo! “Far-Right”
O’Toole and Singh rising, but Trudeau still seen as best pick for PM this election: poll
The results also suggest Trudeau continues to face skepticism from the Canadian public. He’s still seen as the leader most likely to say anything to get elected, at 46 per cent — up two points over the past two weeks — while 36 per cent said he has a hidden agenda, also higher than any other leader.
