In a fragmented communications environment, Mark Carney’s Davos speech emerged as a rare communication moment that clearly registered with Canadians. While there has been an immediate impact on perceptions of leadership and government performance, vote intentions remain largely unchanged.

Since the election, both the Liberals and CPC have lost over 10-points in approval on how they are responding to Donald Trump. While we see a similar decline in the number of Canadians willing to choose either Carney or Poilievre as better on handling Canada/US relation, Carney continues to enjoy a double digit lead over Poilievre.
