Abacus Data: Some Perspective and Deeper Polling Analysis on the “Canada Feels Broken” Framing
By David Coletto & Richard Jenkins
We find that the analysis of public opinion right now is far more complicated and nuanced than the analysis about it has been so far.1 in 3 Canadians is satisfied with the way things are going in Canada. 47% are dissatisfied. Few are very satisfied. This isn’t much different than the right direction/wrong track question pollsters often ask. People are feeling unhappy, grumpy, and anxious about the world.
So, things feel broken, but Canada is still the best place to be. Half even think that “given the state of the world today, things in Canada are going pretty well.” In other words, sure the world is messed up. We are in a state of permacrisis. Some of what is not working here is a global problem. When we compare current vote intention across these three groups, we find the Liberals lead among the “global factors make my life crap” group and “things are fine or better” group. Conservatives lead big among the “government decisions make my life crap” group.
But we don’t think this data presents a picture of a population raging against the machine. Does it to you?
