Probably referring to the recent Angus Reid poll. I seem to remember that Freeland had the most support among the likely candidates (20%ish?) but none of the above was still in the lead. Just going off memory though.

With Trudeau at the helm, the Liberals held 13 per cent vote intention compared to the other parties, with the Conservatives at 39 per cent. But with Freeland leading, Liberal vote intention jumped to 21 per cent — still lower than the Tories’ 36 per cent, but higher than former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney and Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly at 14 and 16 per cent, respectively.This was especially true among Liberal voters and those considering voting red, with 40 per cent of current voters saying they’d be more likely to support the party with her as leader. This figure fell to 27 and 28 per cent among people who are “definitely” considering the party and those who “might” consider voting Liberal, respectively.

Compared to Carney, Joly, Industry Minister François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Finance Dominic LeBlanc and Transport Minister Anita Anand, Freeland had the most name recognition by far, with just eight per cent of respondents not knowing who she is.



But Freeland was also the most controversial, with 29 per cent of respondents saying they’d be less likely to vote Liberal with her as leader.
