Support for Trudeau's Liberals, Poilievre's Conservatives nearly deadlocked, Ipsos poll finds

Liberal and Conservative supporters are freshly deadlocked in their voting intentions in Canada, new polling done by Ipsos exclusively for Global News appears to show.

If a federal election were held tomorrow, the Liberals under Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would receive 33 per cent of the vote, tied with Poilievre’s Conservative party, the poll suggests. The poll showed the NDP would receive 18 per cent support.

“The Liberals have been unable to replicate what they did back in 2015 but the Conservatives have been unable to really beat them in terms of popular support and, ultimately, in terms of the number of seats they are unable to win – so, we’re in this gridlock and it seems to have persisted for a long period of time,” said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs.

The “statistical tie” follows a spike in support for the Conservative party last fall following the post-leadership convention when Pierre Poilievre was elected leader in September 2022, according to an Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News.

Now, as these neck-and-neck results have held fairly constant since the 2019 election – when Canadians elected a Liberal minority government – voting intentions have seemingly moved back to familiar territory.
