Carney’s Liberals See Jump in Popularity After Bracing Davos Speech

Mark Carney’s Liberal Party is enjoying a surge in polls after the Canadian prime minister earned praise from other world leaders for his Davos speech urging smaller countries to resist coercion by superpowers.

A new survey released by Leger Marketing finds Carney’s Liberals with a nine-point lead over the Conservative Party led by Pierre Poilievre. That follows a poll from Liaison Strategies that had an eight-point Liberal lead, and other surveys showing Carney’s personal approval rating on the rise.
