Next time pick a graph that shows current poll results. BTW, Nik Nanos is always quick to point out the fact that currently the PM has no real opposition. Mulcair will be gone before the next election and the Conservatives have yet to find a new leader which leaves the field wide open for Trudeau. That said, check out his latest numbers in the wake of castrogate, the pipeline announcement and the debacle of election reform - things aren't looking quite so rosy now.

It's all he's got. Let poor mentalflake have this simple little thing. He's on the verge of meltdown since Trump's victory

What has he done, other than take vacations?

:lol: Not to mention he must be a tad chagrined about the PM's latest faux pas.
Pipe line approval , who would have thought it . Trudeau and Notley supporting pipelines .It must be hard for even a true believer to get past this .

Trudeau simply off-loaded their care into the laps of the provinces, JLM - which is something they (the provinces) were worried about in the first place. The Feds will still be responsible for education and job training both of which have fallen far behind demand. Provinces will soon be seeing their budgets balloon as they are now forced to provide social assistance and cover all housing costs.

Education is at the top of the list in priorities for refugees especially as there is not much sense taking job training if you don't have clue what trainers are saying - yet the government has yet to open more centers. With more refugees on the way, the necessity of providing English language training is now of prime importance.


Yes, he's certainly a clown!

I was referring to his handling of the electoral reform fiasco. Trudeau was right to approve the lines - not that he had any choice but to do so.

I think approving those two pipe lines probably pulled him up out of the gutter! Whatever talent he demonstrated there!

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's approval rating has dropped by 16 points over the past six months according to polling by Forum Research Inc.


Their polls on Trudeau's approval rating show:
42% -- April
45% -- March
48% -- January
51% -- December
58% -- November


Forum Research president Lorne Bozinoff says, "Trudeau’s level of approval should be of concern to Liberals across the country, as the once irrepressibly popular prime minister now sees his disapproval exceed his approval. Perhaps it’s the aftermath of an unpopular budget, or just a general lack of interest that comes with the middle of a mandate, but, whatever the cause, Trudeau doesn’t seem to be connecting with Canadians right now.”

Beyond the unpopular budget tabled in March, it has been suggested that Trudeau's numbers have dropped because of his broken promise on electoral reform, his Christmas vacation on a billionaire's private island in the Bahamas, Liberal cash-for-access fundraising practices, and his approval of two tar sands pipelines.

There may also be the emerging feeling that while many voted for him to implement "real change", many of his policies (on free trade deals, health care funding, tar sands pipelines, water protection) are reflective of the Harper era.

On January 25, CBC poll analyst Eric Grenier observed, "Trudeau's approval ratings have dropped to their lowest level since he became prime minister, according to a new poll. But an analysis of the popularity of his predecessors suggests Trudeau's sliding numbers are typical of a prime minister roughly 15 months after taking office."

He then highlighted that at the 15 month point (January 2017) Trudeau's approval rating was 48 per cent, compared to Stephen Harper's 49 per cent approval rating at his 15 month anniversary (spring of 2007).

They crossed the line first. They squeezed them, they hammered them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to the one party they didn’t fully understand.
