OTTAWA — The election is playing out as a story of hopeful Conservative voters versus fearful Liberal voters, according to a new Postmedia-Leger poll.
Three-quarters of Canadians who plan to vote Conservative said the emotion guiding them is “primarily a hope for a better future in Canada to live, work, and raise a family.”
By contrast, six in 10 Liberal voters said they were motivated primarily by “a fear of what the future holds for Canada,” with the unpredictable U.S. President Donald Trump threatening trade relations.
New – Abacus Data Poll: Liberal lead down to 2
Overall, the data suggest that the Liberal lead has narrowed to just two points nationally (40% Liberal vs. 38% Conservative), down from a six-point advantage two weeks ago.
I wonder if a “Shy” Poilievre vote is lurking within the electorate undetected by pollsters.
