Poll shows Canadians satisfied with Trudeau's decision to step down

In Canada, more than 80% of residents are satisfied with the decision of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign, but it has not improved the position of the Liberal Party. This was reported by Global News TV channel on January 9, citing a survey by research company Ipsos.

The poll was conducted from January 6 to 7 among 1 thousand Canadians aged 18 years and older.

It is reported that 81% of Canadians approve of Trudeau's departure, with more than half expressing "strong approval." Among supporters of the country's Liberal Party, which is headed by Trudeau, the decision was supported by 70% of respondents. However, the rating of the party remains at 20%, which is close to a historic low.

The material indicates that Canadians are tired of Trudeau and want change. However, the new leader of the Liberal Party will be difficult to return the trust of voters.

Earlier, on January 6, Justin Trudeau announced that he will leave the post of chairman of the Liberal Party after the election of a new leader. Trudeau shared that he will not be able to be the leader in the next election due to internal strife.

On December 23, 2024, it was reported that more than a third of the Liberal Party members of the Canadian Parliament said they wanted the country's prime minister to resign as party leader.

On December 17, it was reported that Trudeau was considering resigning over Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland's decision to leave the government. Freeland said she would leave the Cabinet on December 16, as Trudeau decided to deprive her of the portfolio of Finance Minister, transferring to another job in the government.
