The majority of Canadians prefer Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the U.S. election, butsupport for the former Republican president has increased here, especially among young men, according to a new poll.
The research, conducted by the Environics Institute in Toronto,also found that more Conservative Party voters prefer Mr. Trump than during the last U.S. presidential campaign, in 2020.
The
Environics Institute research found Canadians three times more likely
to prefer Democratic nominee and current Vice-President KamalaHarris to win the Nov. 5 presidentialelection over Mr. Trump – 60 per cent to 21 per cent.
But
Mr. Trump’s total has risen from similar research conducted in 2020,
when he had 15-per-cent support among Canadians surveyed compared with
67 per cent for the eventual winner, President JoeBiden.
