Poll: Trudeau's disapproval numbers slowly rising

Approval and disapproval of Justin Trudeau and Pierre Poilievre has remained broadly stable since the beginning of the year, other than Trudeau's disapproval numbers gradually rising, a series of online polls show. 

A small majority of readers, 54 per cent, now say they strongly disapprove of the prime minister's performance. That's up from 48 per cent in January. Only 10 per cent see his performance very favourably.

When we mash up views of leaders with current federal voting intentions, the big picture is broadly what you would expect. However, it's worth noting the Conservative supporters who either have a somewhat unfavourable view of Poilievre, or are indifferent.
