OTTAWA—Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives are pulling further ahead of the governing Liberal party in national voting intentions amid a widespread desire for change across the country, a new poll suggests. The online survey from Abacus Data found the federal Conservatives have climbed to a seven-percentage-point lead over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals, up from three points one month ago. The NDP had 21 per cent in the latest Abacus poll, up three percentage points, while the far-right People’s Party and Greens each had four per cent. What’s more, barely 20 per cent of survey respondents said Trudeau and the Liberals “deserve to be re-elected,” while more than 80 per cent said it is “time for a change in government.”How do Canadians feel about Poilievre? But Coletto also noted that 31 per cent of respondents said they don’t see a good option for the change in government they want.
