Liberals hold two-point vote intention advantage, 40 per cent to 38 per cent over opposition CPC
By ANGUS REID INSTITUTE
November 18, 2025 – Despite boos for the Prime Minister at the Grey Cup on Sunday, new data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute finds Carney approved of by 52 per cent of Canadians. He’s disapproved of by 39 per cent, putting his net approval rating at plus 13.
On the other side of the house, the spotlight on Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre continues to intensify.
Having lost one Conservative MP to a floor-crossing and one to a resignation, Poilievre looks to the new year and a leadership review in January, having earned the favourability this fall of just one-third of Canadians (34%). The CPC leader has an unfavourable rate of 60 per cent, putting his net score at a negative 26, the worst recorded since he took over the leadership.
That said, speculation of his imminent ouster may well be overstated. Views of Poilievre remain strong among his own party base, with 78 per cent favourability.
That said, Carney receives an 87 per cent approval among 2025 Liberal voters. The would-be incumbents in any forthcoming election have retaken the slightest of leads in a hypothetical contest. Close to equal numbers would vote for the LPC (40%) and CPC (38%) if an election were held.
For their part, the vast majority of Canadians say it’s too early for an election (69%). This includes a significant minority of CPC voters (37%) who would opt to give the government more time before heading to the polls again.
