North American Tracker: U.S. as an Ally

February 20, 2025

From February 14 to 17, 2025, we asked Canadians on their perception of the United States.

Highlights of our survey include…

  • Three quarters of Canadians (74%) have an unfavourable opinion of Donald Trump, while 13% view him favourably. Among Americans, opinions are more divided: 41% have a favourable view of Trump, while 43% have an unfavourable one.

  • Canadians have mixed views on the U.S.: 27% perceive it as an enemy country, 30% as an ally, and another 27% as a neutral nation. Meanwhile, a majority of Americans (56%) consider Canada an ally.

Methodology

This web survey on the economy was conducted from February 14 to 17, 2025, with 1,550 Canadians and 1,001 U.S. residents, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.

A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of this size yields a margin of error no greater than ±2.49%, (19 times out of 20) for the Canadian sample and ±3.10%, (19 times out of 20) for the American sample.
