The majority of Canadians prefer Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the U.S. election, but support for the former Republican president has increased here, especially among young men, according to a new poll.
The research, conducted by the Environics Institute in Toronto, also found that more Conservative Party voters prefer Mr. Trump than during the last U.S. presidential campaign, in 2020.
The Environics Institute research found Canadians three times more likely to prefer Democratic nominee and current Vice-President Kamala Harris to win the Nov. 5 presidential election over Mr. Trump – 60 per cent to 21 per cent.
But Mr. Trump’s total has risen from similar research conducted in 2020, when he had 15-per-cent support among Canadians surveyed compared with 67 per cent for the eventual winner, President Joe Biden.
What has changed since the TRC issued its calls to action a decade ago?
