The majority of Canadians believe Justin Trudeau is doing rather well when it comes time to deal with the president of the United States, Donald Trump, reveals a recent survey.

In fact, 60 % of respondents to an Ipsos poll conducted for Global News, approve of the manner in which the canadian prime minister to negotiate with his american counterpart.

The people surveyed also felt that Mr. Trudeau is the one who is best equipped to deal with Mr. Trump among all the heads of the federal party canadian.

Behind Justin Trudeau, who dominates with 32 %, is the leader of the conservative Party of Canada (CPC), Andrew Scheer, who got 12 % support. The leader of the New democratic Party (NDP), Jagmeet Singh, ranked third with 7 % of the tract. However, 47 % of respondents chose none of the three leaders.

“This response is not necessarily a repudiation of the way in which Trudeau does with Trump, said Sean Simpson, vice-president, public affairs at Ipsos, in an interview with Global News. I think it may be a way to say that nobody can arrive to deal with him (Donald Trump).”

Level of education

The survey also revealed a correlation between the level of education of the respondents and the propensity to criticize Donald Trump, and to support Justin Trudeau in his efforts to deal with him.

Least of the respondents were educated, the more they tended to have a favorable opinion of the presidency of Donald Trump and his impact on Canada.

Thus, 35 % of those who have not completed their high school feel that the presidency of Trump is better than envisaged, in contrast to 21 % of university graduates.

In addition, 32 % of those who have not concluded their secondary education say that Justin Trudeau is expected to make an effort to be more closely aligned with Mr. Trump in matters of foreign policy, compared to 19% for university graduates.

Sean Simpson, Ipsos, has shown that the same trend has been observed in the United States.

Persons aged 55 years and older also tend to perceive more positively the presidency of Trump, according to the results of the survey.

The stroke of the probe was carried out in line with 2098 adult Canadians between 10 and 14 December last.
