OTTAWA — Half of Canadians believe Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s chances of beating Prime Minister Mark Carney are poor at best even as Carney’s approval ratings show the first signs of slipping, according to a new Leger poll. 

“Mr. Poilievre still has work to do… to broaden his appeal to the greater electorate,” Leger executive vice-president Andrew Enns said in an interview. 

A new Postmedia-Leger poll suggests that 50 per cent of Canadians think chances are slim that Poilievre defeats Carney and the Liberals in the next general election. That includes nearly one in five (18 per cent) Conservative supporters. A similar number of Liberal supporters (19 per cent) think Poilievre has a good chance of beating Carney.
