Turns out that changing your story on a burning political scandal on an almost daily basis doesn’t make the public trust you.

The latest Angus Reid Institute poll shows the Liberals falling behind the Conservatives in popular support, the PM’s approval rating dipping to Trump territory and Canadians engaging on the SNC-Lavalin affair.

Distroscale

According to the poll released Tuesday, Canadians are more engaged on this issue than on NAFTA talks, on China, even the Me Too movement. The poll shows that 66% agree with the statement that “There is a deeper scandal in the Prime Minister’s Office and more information will emerge.”

That view goes across the country and across all age groups, something that should frighten the Liberal campaign team.

Already the party is down in voter support, the poll showing that the Conservatives are ahead by seven points.

When asked “who they would support if an election were held tomorrow,” 38% said the Conservatives, 31% the Liberals and 14% the NDP.

The Trudeau Liberals are down in support across the country while Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives are on the rise.

The Angus Reid survey, which was conducted between Feb. 21-24, shows the Conservatives leading in every region but Quebec and Atlantic Canada.

In Quebec, the Liberals and Conservatives are tied at 24% support.

The only region the Liberals still hold a lead is in Atlantic Canada.

It’s a far cry from Trudeaumania and proof that the PM and his party are in trouble over their handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair.

This is the fourth poll showing the Conservatives ahead since the story broke.

The scandal isn’t just hitting the Liberal Party’s numbers, it is hurting Trudeau’s reputation, as well. Asked if their opinion of the PM has worsened, improved or stayed the same in the past month, 59% of Canadians said worsened.

Justin Trudeau’s approval rating sits at just 40%.

Seems trash talking the woman who used to be your attorney general for almost three weeks while preventing her from speaking turns Canadians off.

Trudeau may need yet another communications strategy.

And as the PM stands up in the House of Commons day after day saying that he did nothing wrong and is only supporting “good jobs” at SNC-Lavalin, he is showing that he is offside with the view of most Canadians.

Asked if the company should be prosecuted on the bribery and corruption charges they are facing, 63% said they agreed with the statement that, “ SNC-Lavalin should be fully prosecuted under the Criminal Code.”

Even in the company’s home province of Quebec, voters are split with 49% saying prosecute even if it means a 10-year ban on federal contracts and 51% saying the company should be allowed a remediation agreement.

On Wednesday, Jody Wilson-Raybould will speak to the House of Commons justice committee. If you’ve read the headlines, then you have likely heard that Trudeau says he has waived privilege and the former attorney general is free to speak.

How much she says could alter Trudeau’s fortunes in the future.

If she is upfront and forthcoming with Canadians, then the next poll could show even worse numbers for the Trudeau government.

The government that seemed invincible just a few short weeks ago, now seems very vulnerable, all because they tried to bully a woman that wasn’t having it.
