‘Majority Territory’: Support for Conservatives Is Gaining Significant Momentum in Canada

Recent polls from various sources, including Leger, Nanos, and Abacus Data, have revealed a significant shift in the political landscape of Canada. The Conservative party, which has maintained a consistent but unremarkable lead over the Liberals for years, is now experiencing a surge in popularity, with nearly double-digit leads in recent polls.

A July Leger poll indicated that 37% of respondents expressed support for the Conservative party, compared to 28% backing the Liberals. These polling numbers have been translated into seat projections, revealing the possibility of a strong Conservative victory in the upcoming federal election and even a potential majority government.

The polling website 338Canada projects that Conservatives will capture 165 seats, with the Liberals trailing behind at 115. While this falls slightly short of the 170 seats needed for an outright majority, a 165-seat Conservative caucus could still thwart any efforts of a Liberal-NDP coalition, especially considering the NDP is expected to secure only 22 seats.

The momentum behind the Conservative party suggests that they could be on track for a significant victory in the next federal election. However, historical context is important. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s current support, while strong, doesn’t yet match the overwhelming numbers seen prior to Brian Mulroney’s landslide win in 1984, the National Post notes.

Interestingly, the Conservatives have been steadily gaining popular vote intention during Justin Trudeau’s tenure as prime minister. Polls as early as 2018 indicated a shift in favor of the Conservative party. Despite securing more votes in the past two federal elections, the Liberals’ strategic focus on “vote efficiency” enabled them to dominate seat counts and retain power.

Notably, the recent surge in Conservative support extends beyond traditional strongholds. Polls from Abacus Data suggest that the Conservatives are leading the Liberals in Ontario and Atlantic Canada, while also drawing support away from the Liberals in Quebec.

A significant portion of new Conservative supporters comprises individuals who did not participate in previous elections. Given the relatively low voter turnout of 62% in the 2021 election, this demographic presents a valuable opportunity for the Conservative party to tap into a previously untapped voter base.
