NEW data from the non-profit Angus Reid Institute show Canadians – including those who supported the CPC in September’s federal election – have cooled on Conservative Party Leader Erin O’Toole significantly.

Among past CPC voters favourability towards the leader has plummeted faster – 22 points over two months, from 81 per cent at the beginning of October to 59 per cent at the end of November.

O’Toole’s favourability among all Canadians, which peaked at 38 per cent in the days before the election, has dropped to a new low of 24 per cent.

Facing internal strife and scrutiny over the vaccination status of his caucus, the embattled Conservative chief is today less popular than former leader Andrew Scheer was when he was forced out of the job two years ago.

On the opposite side of the Commons, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s governing Liberal party has enjoyed a modest bump in vote intention since September, rising five points to 35 per cent

The Liberals currently hold a six-point advantage in vote intention over the rival Conservatives after a hotly contested campaign two-and-a-half months ago.

More Key Findings:
* One-in-three strongly disapprove of Trudeau, while six per cent strongly approve of him.
* O’Toole favourability is lower among Conservatives now than Scheer was at same time post-election in 2019.
* Liberal support is buoyed by women while the CPC suffer from the shift to the PPC among younger male voters.
