3 in 4 Canadians think Trudeau should step down now: poll

When Canada’s Liberals vaulted from third to first place in the 2015 election, it was all because of Justin Trudeau — a leader that Canadians were excited about after nearly nine years of former prime minister Stephen Harper. But after eight years of Trudeau, most Canadians seem to be ready for a change again.

New polling provided exclusively to Global News by Ipsos finds Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre leading Trudeau by 16 points, with 72 per cent of total respondents saying Trudeau should step down now. Among those who identify as Liberal Party supporters, one in three said it was time for a new party leader.

“I've never seen a number that high for a Prime minister, probably since Brian Mulroney back in ‘91, ‘92. And that that's what this really reminds me of,” Ipsos CEO Darryl Bricker said.

I’m a former Liberal. Even worst than Trudeau is his finance minister who talks as if she is interfacing with school children. Listening to her is like fingers down a chalk board. This government is in an absolute free fall and they deserve it. They are absolutely terrible and need to go now.

1 in 4 Canadians weren’t aware of the poll

Do we really have to wait 2 years for an election? Can we not as a 30M+ population say "GTFO?" How much more suffering do we have to endure?

[faustairtomo]

For me, it's not the number of years he's been in power, but his incompetence.

[CE-DE]

The actual number is 5 out of 4 Canadians think Trudeau should step down.

How is Trudeau still alive is my question?

[maxinearmstrong]

No. We are not “tired” we are totally fed up!!!

Since Biden took office, there seem to have been more unfavorable results in America likewise Canada.
These results include effects on the markets, such as price declines and sharp increases in inflation, as well as bank failures. I wonder if the sudden increase in interest rates will help value investors or if it would be wiser to stay away from the stock and financial markets for the time being.

It's not only Canadians. The whole world wants this guy gone ASAP‼️

[R_Mcfadden]

I agree he’s terrible. I’ll vote accordingly to dethrone him. The narcissist won’t resign. He’ll drive his party over a cliff before that happens

[robertrebor]

A Trudeau supporter called in to CBC's "Ontario Today" radio show and said she just didn't understand why people hated Trudeau so much. THIS IS THE PROBLEM. So many people support Trudeau because they are CLUELESS. Look out the window, leave your house, google trudeau bad and see what comes up idk.
Trudeau has so little support and most of the support he has is from Canadians who mean well but are too ignorant to realize they are the problem.

3 in 4 Canadians? I'll bet it's 99 out of 100!

[Stevesbits]

I can't believe he gets any support.
He is just ridiculous

[STEVEARABIA]

I’m more surprised ndp supporters aren’t raging against Jagmeet for continuing to support the liberals.

[waynejohanson]

My question is what is wrong with the 25%

[victorjoseph]

hey more and more think he should be arrested for Treason.

[michaelcarniel]

We don't just want him to step down, we.want an election

[poorboysrc]

Let's get this to 4 of 4 Canadians. Justin has tanked this country and made a mockery of us on the world stage. He's never been qualified for this role, nor does he have the capacity to perform even at a mediocre level as a leader.

[Stevesbits]

Absolute train wreck. We need to unload a massive amount of top end .
Government agencies are over-staffed and under-worked and management gets bonuses. The whole time our nurses and doctors work in hostile under staffed under equipped atmosphere.
Ridiculous some of the wages middle and upper management draw for themselves.
We need a Blue collared working society built on a system...not this nonsense.

[robertleblanc]

Thinking that most Canadians would rather see him in prison….
