Angus Reid is the latest polling company to find Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s popularity in precipitous decline in the wake of his widely criticized trip to India. Trudeau’s net approval rating of -16 is well below Stephen Harper’s rating of -1 at a similar point in his tenure. Fifty-six per cent of respondents say they disapprove of Trudeau at his government’s 29-month mark, while 40 per cent say they approve. The only prime minister in recent memory who enjoyed a positive net approval rating at this point in his tenure was Jean Chretien, with a +19 approval. Twenty-five per cent said they would cast a ballot for the Liberals and 16 per cent for the NDP.
