Lewis supporters waiting for their orange wave still …
Carney is locked in , hes proving over and over he can make moves that both piss off and please supporters while maintaining support .
The ecconomics haven’t even really revealed themselves, but the silence coming from industries, private and union say they approve, and if they line up behind Carney , the CPC will bleed further .

What’s notable is not just the number itself, but where Carney is polling well.
Multiple polls show him holding majority approval in places where Liberals traditionally struggle:
Alberta
Saskatchewan
older voters
some Conservative voters
That’s extremely unusual for modern Canadian politics.
Other governments with similar polling over the last 40 years:
This may be something like a watershed moment for objective-based leadership in Canada. Not that we’ve never had it, but the democratic world is wiggling the metronome between that and talking-point populism. Like or dislike Carney’s policies, the one thing a majority of Canadians agree on is that he is actually working and doing the job. Time will tell if he continues in that direction or if he’ll eventually cement himself in a position or scandal that loses support, but for now he represents the work ethic that Canadians want from their government.

Leaning into fossil fuels isn’t a good look. Canada always had inadequate climate targets and missed those. Now we’re purposely moving the other way.

It will drop if he ends up selling our airports and ports. I am a big Carney supporter but if that ever happens, id be the first and last straw

We’ll see how those numbers look as the economy continues to slow down. Carney LOOKS like he’s doing a lot of big, bold decisions but if you actually dig into it he’s doing fuck all. Part of that is probably that he knows DRIPA is going to blow up federally soon and it’s going to be an absolute fucking shit show.

I’d love to see a future where we keep our public assets and not auction it to the biggest bidder. When has this ever worked?

So I’m wondering about this polling data. I noticed one of the questions only pitted Carney against pp as the two possible governments people could vote for in a future election.
Is there a possibility the overwhelming support for Carney from progressives in this data is because they are biasing people to consider only a binary of LPC vs CPC as though we don’t have other options?
If so, how reliable is this polling data?
I could be wrong, if anyone has more knowledge about this data please enlighten me!

Has to put reminder that this pollster worked for Carney during his leadership election, so not an unbiased source.

I don’t know why people are so eager to label him in black and white terms. He’s a „Progressive Conservative“ in the old way, meaning globalism, internationalism, trade forward, GDP focused.
