The latest Abacus Data poll shows that over two-thirds of Canadians want Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to resign before the next election.

According to the poll, 47% of Canadians want the Prime Minister to step down immediately. Another 21% of Canadians want him to resign before the next election.

Only 20% of Canadians reported that they want him to run in the next election, with 12% of respondents stating they are undecided. 

Furthermore, among respondents who voted Liberal in 2021, 50% of them also want Trudeau to resign before the next election. 

The Prime Minister reportedly cried during the chaotic caucus meeting on Wednesday that saw a number of his MPs asking him to resign. 

Trudeau has been given a deadline of October 28 to decide on whether or not he’ll heed their call to do so. According to The National Post, one Liberal MP said that the disgruntled MPs are “quite intent.”

As many as forty MPs were reportedly prepared to demand new leadership during the event. 

Asked on Thursday if he will remain leader despite the growing sentiment, Trudeau said “Yes.”
