With 33% positive opinions, he is up 21 points since December 2025, putting him second among the personalities with the largest gains. This progress may be partly explained by the visibility he gained during the <a href=\"https:\/\/plq.org\/en\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Quebec Liberal Party leadership race<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>By contrast, Pierre Poilievre and \u00c9ric Duhaime remain in difficult territory among the electorate as a whole. Pierre Poilievre records an appreciation score of -38, the lowest in the barometer, while \u00c9ric Duhaime follows at -31. Their situation is not simply a matter of low awareness: both are relatively well known, but highly polarizing.<\/p>\n<p>Their base nevertheless remains solid. Among provincial Conservative voters, \u00c9ric Duhaime receives 87% positive opinions, while Pierre Poilievre receives 77%. This contrast is a reminder that a political figure can be very well perceived by their natural electorate while still facing strong resistance in the population as a whole. The same pattern appears elsewhere: Paul St-Pierre Plamondon reaches 94% among PQ voters, while Ruba Ghazal reaches 88% among Qu\u00e9bec solidaire voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Charles Milliard is not among the very top names in the overall ranking, but he still posts one&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":98560,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[98],"tags":[1752,114,36167,8481,6770,29950,29951,111,36168,36169,36170,16453,36171],"class_list":["post-98559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mark-carney","tag-canada-politics","tag-canadian-politics","tag-caq","tag-carney-government","tag-christine-frechette","tag-government-satisfaction-canada","tag-leger-poll","tag-mark-carney","tag-opinion-publique","tag-pierre-polievre","tag-politique-quebec","tag-public-opinion","tag-sondage-politique"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
