New polling suggests Canadians had a lukewarm response to the federal budget released last week—leading one pollster to argue that all parties should think twice before mounting an election campaign over the spending plan.
The Leger survey indicates that some 30 per cent of Canadians who responded approve of the budget tabled by Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government on November 4. Another 37 per cent had a negative response, while the rest offered no opinion.
Only 15 per cent of households surveyed told Leger the proposed budget will have a positive impact on their personal lives, while 32 per cent predicted a negative effect.
Andrew Enns, Leger’s Executive Vice-President, said that while the Liberals managed to win broad support on some big-ticket items, such as new spending on defence and infrastructure, Carney’s first budget missed the mark when it came to Canadians’ own pocketbooks.
