Nanos conducted a survey on Canadians views of the federal government. Pessimism remains the top emotion felt by Canadians when it comes to the federal government in Ottawa and has increased by eight percentage points compared to the previous wave in October 2024 (33 per cent to 41 per cent). Close to one third of Canadians continue to feel anger toward the federal government in Ottawa (29%), with residents of the Prairies (42%) more likely to say they feel this than those from other regions.
Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,045 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between December 30th, 2024 and January 5th, 2025, as part of an omnibus survey.
The margin of error for this survey is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
The research was conducted by Nanos Research.
