Justin Trudeau hammered by devastating polls just before Parliament reconvenes

With only a week to go before Parliament reconvenes, a pair of devastating polls are showing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau with near-unprecedented rates of disapproval.

And according to new numbers from the Angus Reid Institute, Trudeau now has an approval rating of just 33 per cent, against a disapproval rating of 63 per cent.

He’s been this unpopular only once before; during a brief period in February 2020 when he was blamed for a series of anti-pipeline rail and border blockades. Right before the blockades were lifted, a survey found him with a disapproval rating of 64 per cent.

The reason for the shift is pretty simple: Canadians are getting pummelled by unaffordable housing and rising cost of living, and they trust the Conservatives to solve it more than the Liberal incumbents.
