A Slim Majority of Canadians Say
Trudeau Apologizes Too Much for Government Wrongdoing from the Past
Toronto, July 31st, 2019 – In a
random sampling of public opinion taken by The Forum Poll™ among 1733 Canadian voters, a little over half
(TOP2: 54%) say they agree that Justin Trudeau apologizes too much for
government wrongdoing from the past, with a third (30%) saying they strongly
agree.
A little less than half (BTM2: 46%) say they
disagree that Trudeau apologizes too much for government wrongdoing from the
past, with a quarter (23%) saying they strongly disagree.
Respondents most likely to say they agree
include those over 45 years old (57% of those 45 to 54, 56% of 55 to 64, 57% of
65 and over), males (60%), from Alberta (62%), and voting Conservative (75%) or
PPC (77%).
Those who say they strongly agree are
most likely 45 to 54 years old (36%) or 55 to 64 (33%), males (37%), earning
$80k-$100k (33%) or $100k-$250k (31%), from Alberta (41%), and voting
Conservative (54%) or PPC (54%).
Respondents most likely to say they disagree
include those aged 18 to 34 (50%) or 35 to 44 (49%), females (53%), earning
$20k-$40k (51%), $60k-$80k (49%), or $80k-$100k (48%), with a post graduate
degree (50%) or some college or university education (47%), from Atlantic
Canada (57%), and voting NDP (67%).
“Although only a slight majority of Canadians
agree Trudeau apologizes too often for past wrongdoings from the government,
almost a third strongly agree,” said Dr. Lorne Bozinoff, President of Forum
Research. “Perhaps not surprisingly, a strong majority of the Canadians who say
they are planning to vote Conservative in the upcoming election agree that the
Prime Minister apologizes too much.”
