US EditionPoll suggests more Conservative voters now want to replace Poilievre as leader
The share of past Conservative voters who want a new leader has risen to 30%, while 57% still back Poilievre, the Angus Reid Institute said.
- An Angus Reid Institute poll released Monday suggests a growing number of Conservative voters want to replace Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre, with 30 per cent of past Tory voters wanting him to step down.
- The survey follows the defection of four MPs, including Marilyn Gladu, who crossed the floor to join Prime Minister Mark Carney's Liberal government, helping secure a majority over the past six months.
- While 57 per cent of 2025 Conservative voters want Poilievre to remain, support is uneven; men aged 35 to 54 resonate most with the leader, whereas fewer than three in ten women hold a favourable view.
- Poilievre's efforts to rebrand, including 'softening his tone,' have been negligible in winning favour, but spokesperson Sam Lilley said Conservatives 'stood by Pierre in record numbers just three months ago in Calgary,' awarding him 87.4% support.
- Political analyst Gary Mason notes the Conservatives face a significant challenge beyond the Liberal majority: their leadership, as 44 per cent of respondents view the current Liberal majority as a 'good thing' due to stability, while 42 per cent disagree.
