The number who have read, seen or heard anything has actually dropped from 62% in July to 55% now in early August. Among those who recall reading, hearing, or seeing something about the Prime Minister and the federal government in the last few days, 7-in-10 (70%) mention the WE charity controversy – steady with the July results when 72% mentioned the WE charity controversy.

The impact has remained strongly negative. In July, the net impact of the controversy was -60%, meaning that far more respondents were left with a more unfavourable opinion of the Prime Minister than were left with a more favourable opinion of him. That number has remained just as poor for Justin Trudeau, with a net impact in the first week of August of -61%.
