This report includes the Nanos weekly tracking on accessible voters and qualities of a good political leader for the Conservatives and Pierre Poilievre respectively and compares data since Poilievre was selected leader of the CPC. Overall, the Conservatives trail the Liberals by a handful of percentage points. However, the proportion of Canadians who believe Poilievre has the qualities of a good political leader has hit its lowest level since he won the leadership. Accessible Conservative support is marginally down since the election but on par with when he took over the party. Poilievre is significantly behind Carney on who Canadians would prefer as PM.

The Weekly Nanos Tracking is produced by the Nanos Research Corporation, headquartered in Canada, which operates in Canada and the United States. The data is based on random interviews with 1,000 Canadian consumers (recruited by RDD land- and cell-line sample), using a four-week rolling average of 250 respondents each week, 18 years of age and over. The random sample of 1,000 respondents may be weighted using the latest census information for Canada. The interviews are compiled into a four-week rolling average of 1,000 interviews where each week, the oldest group of 250 interviews is dropped and a new group of 250 interviews is added.
Full data tables with weighted and unweighted number of interviews is here.
