OTTAWA – Monday’s election is a statistical tie, says a new poll that found Canadians feel the election has been divisive and that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has led a cynical and angry campaign
The Postmedia-Leger poll found a huge majority, seven out of ten Canadians, agreed the campaign had been more divisive and confrontational than previous federal elections.
Andrew Enns, Leger executive vice-president, said the company did not have historical comparisons for that number, but that feeling transcended party lines. Voters of every stripe, except Green supporters, found the campaign had been more divisive than previous elections.
“Quite frankly, Liberals and Conservatives and NDPers are pretty much in unison on this,” he said.
While 76 per cent of Conservative voters found the election divisive, Liberal voters agreed in similar numbers (74 per cent).
Enns also asked Canadians how they felt Trudeau and Erin O’Toole, the two front-runners to be prime minister, had handled the race.
