Well then, I concede! To stick to my guns would require us to trade competing survey results from different pollsters. That's no fun, and unsatisfying, in any case.


Yeah but without that your just making stuff up and nobody wants that except you.


That is reasonable, and why I conceded the point. Unfortunately, I cannot remember where the notion got into my head, and it's a bigger pain then it might seem trawling search results to find current articles with peak approval for both men.


Actually.. Wikipedia to the rescue!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historical_rankings_of_prime_m...

  Highest approval rating
  1. Mark Carney — 67% (June 2025)
  2. Jean Chrétien — 66% (September 1994)
  3. Justin Trudeau — 65% (September 2016)


I'm sorry spark advocacy doesn't qualify as a good source (that's wikipedias source).


Then I concede a second time. Please pretend I originally wrote just 'Carney is popular enough that the opposition can use what help they can get'

I'm not an expert on Canadian pollsters, and poll numbers are not a subject of debate for which I have much enthusiasm.
