OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) — A new poll indicates that Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) MPs Pierre Poilievre and Leslyn Lewis are the only leadership candidates who have garnered a “net favourable sentiment” among the conservative voter base.
According to an Ipsos poll conducted on behalf of Global News released April 20, Poilievre has gained among CPC voters nationally a “net +30 favourable sentiment” rating and Lewis has gained “+2.”
Of note is that both Poilievre and Lewis are the only candidates to have gained favor among the CPC voter base. Former Quebec Premier Jean Charest attained a “net -13” rating among CPC voters.
The Ipsos poll was conducted April 14-19 and sampled 1,001 Canadians from coast to coast age 18 and over.
When it comes to Canadians in general, the Ipsos poll showed that 20 percent think Poilievre has the best chance to be the party leader, well ahead of Charest at 12 percent.
Overall, the poll says most Canadians (55 percent) are unsure about who will win the CPC leadership race. However, among CPC voters, 37 percent support Poilievre and only 14 percent support Charest.
