If a federal election was held today, the Conservatives would roll over the Liberals to form a government, according to a Forum Research poll.

Forum found 46% of voters would cast ballots for Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives, while Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberals could only count on the support of 30% of the electorate. Only 18% of respondents said they would vote for Jagmeet Singh’s NDP party.

“The Conservatives have strengthened their lead over the governing Liberals going into the summer break,” said Lorne Bozinoff, president of Forum Research.

“The prime minister is seeing a high level of disapproval right now that could account for the lack of support for his party.”

Trudeau has faced criticism following a long list of gaffes.

On a recent official trip to India, a Sikh extremist convicted of the attempted murder of an Indian politician was extended an invitation to dinner with Trudeau at the Canadian High Commissioner’s residence in New Delhi. The Trudeau government has also gone to court to fight Canadian veterans over benefits and has said they are asking for too much.
