As MPs prepare to return to their ridings for the summer, some Liberals are acknowledging that they may be facing unhappy constituents, while others insist they aren’t focused on the party’s grim poll numbers.
Ipsos, Angus Reid and Abacus all released surveys this week that suggest the opposition Conservatives have a 20-point lead over the governing party.
When asked what the Liberals could do to turn their polling numbers around over the summer, House leader Steve MacKinnon offered a gardening metaphor.
Quebec MP Anthony Housefather considered leaving the party earlier this spring over the caucus’s support for an NDP motion on Palestinian statehood.
In an exclusive interview with CBC News Network’s Power and Politics on Monday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the polls shouldn’t matter until an election campaign starts.
Polling expert Philippe Fournier of 338Canada told Power & Politics earlier this month that despite the Liberals’ strong results in 2021 — when Bennett won over half of the vote — there is a risk they might lose the riding in the byelection.
