Gotta love the spin attempts within minutes to affirm one statement that while trying to refuting the next one...from the same fricking poll.

Approval ratings and best PM are totally different statements.

Poilievre is not a charismatic man, far from it. He grates on people's nerves and generally unlikeable.

But does approval rating mean much? Approval ratings had Trudeau as low as 31% in 2019, yet Liberals still won the 2019 elections.

Meanwhile party leaders like Elizabeth May have had approval ratings ranked as high as 56% and that never amounted to May suddenly leading the Green Party to a majority.

Now it does mean that CPC is ahead not because of Poilievre, but because they aren't the Liberal. But this doesn't help the Liberals right now.
