The political gap holds: The Liberals maintain their advantage over the Conservatives, as Mark Carney continues to lead Pierre Poilievre on preferred prime minister. (Nanos)

The Liberals retain the upper hand in federal politics, standing at 44% support against 28% for the Conservatives and 12% for the NDP. Mark Carney also leads the preferred-prime-minister measure, at 54%, while Pierre Poilievre stands at 20%. Beyond party politics, Canadians are most concerned about jobs and the economy and Canada-US relations, with concern over the latter easing from recent levels.

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 cell- and land-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.
