It's probably just Stockholm Syndrome :lol:
Justin Trudeau's political honeymoon the envy of world leaders in Davos
As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addresses the rich and powerful at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, today, some of the world leaders in attendance may be a little envious of his polling numbers at home.
But the numbers suggest Trudeau's honeymoon is typical by recent Canadian standards.
The Liberals are sitting on some strong poll numbers three months after the federal election. Two recent surveys peg the Liberals' support at 44 to 45 per cent of decided voters, up from the 39.5 per cent the party took on election night.
The government's approval rating was at 53 per cent, with just 25 per cent disapproval, in a recent poll from Abacus Data. The Conservative government under Stephen Harper had an approval rating of just 32 per cent, with 47 per cent disapproving, before the campaign kicked off last August.
The numbers for Trudeau himself are also positive, with a Nanos Research poll suggesting 54 per cent of Canadians prefer him as their choice for prime minister, against just 14 per cent for interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose and 11 per cent for NDP Leader Tom Mulcair. The prime minister had an average approval rating of 61 per cent, with 29 per cent disapproving, in polls taken in early December.
