In our latest North American Tracker, we asked Conservative voters who they feel is the best leader for the CPC. We also explored Canadians’ voting intentions.

This survey is conducted in collaboration with the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS) and published in the Canadian Press. This series of surveys is available on Leger’s website.
