People living in Toronto and Vancouver were also keen to see Trump’s name removed from buildings downtown — 62 per cent answering in favour.

Shachi Kurl, senior vice-president at Angus Reid, said the Trump brand has become a hot-potato issue for politicians and the public.

“He’s made these statements that have certainly caught the eye and the attention of lawmakers in this country,” Kurl said.

“You’ve got Toronto city councillors and Vancouver city councillors, the premier of British Columbia, yesterday, all coming out and weighing in on whether or not Trump’s name should be on those towers.”
