Conservative O'Toole Ahead Of Trudeau In Preferred PM Polling

CANADA

For the first time Conservative Party leader Erin O'Toole has moved ahead of incumbent Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in polling for respondents' preferred prime minister.

  • Preferred Prime Minister: O'Toole (Conservative): 31% (+2), Trudeau (Liberal): 27% (-2), Singh (NDP): 20% (+1), Bernier (PPC): 4% (-), Blanchet (BQ): 3% (-), Paul (Green): 2% (-). Nanos Research / September 2, 2021 / n=1200 / MOE 2.8% / Telephone (% Change With September 1)
  • The shift in preferred PM polling seems to have lagged the party opinion polls. The Conservatives have taken the lead in most polls in late-August and early-September, but polling showed Trudeau remaining the preferred PM of a plurality of respondents.
  • If O'Toole can sustain a lead in preferred PM polling it could be a signal of the prospect of a Conservative majority becoming a reality.
