Facing persistently poor polling numbers, questions about the prime minister's future — and who might be the contenders contemplating runs to replace him — have been swirling for months.
Now, according to the latest survey data, considerably more Canadians would like to see him go, compared to those who say they would want him to lead the Liberal Party of Canada into the coming campaign.
When asked to think ahead to the next federal election and the leadership of the current governing party, 56 per cent of respondents — surveyed between May 31 and June 2 — said they'd prefer the Liberals have someone other than Trudeau at the helm.
Just 17 per cent of those surveyed said they think Trudeau should stay on as Liberal leader in the next election. Another 18 per cent said they had no preference, while eight per cent were unsure.
These numbers show a continued but gradual decline in Canadians' support for Trudeau in recent years.
In December 2022, when Nanos Research sought feedback on the same question, 51 per cent of respondents said they'd prefer the Liberals have someone other than Trudeau lead the party. At that time, 25 per cent backed Trudeau's continued leadership.
