I really find that hard to believe. Particularly the Quebec numbers as they are about to elect a PQ premier, and Manitoba/Saskatchewan where its basically a tie. A tie in those provinces basically means the maple-MAGA/PC coalition has been severed and the Liberals will coast to victory as long as the Bloc doesn’t over-perform.
I still suspect that if an election were called this spring we’d see an outcome closer to what we just saw last year, with the Liberals having some slight gains in Ontario and losses in Quebec.

Is anybody doing speculative polling on “CPC but with a different leader”?
He might be a smart guy but Poilievre consistently polls well below his party and I’ve been saying since before Carney officially announced his leadership bid that Poilievre is too polarizing on a personal level to win against anyone competent (i.e. not Trudeau). I bet the numbers change completely with a different Federal conservative leader.

Now, this will be an interesting test as leader. He could, as most leaders in this situation would do, call an election to try and snag a majority. Alternatively, he tries to finish the term as the narrowest of minority governments. The second option is better for the country, I feel, but I imagine the longer he stays in that zone the more internal pressure there will be to call an election.
