Trudeau Faces Internal Party Challenge Amid Plummeting Poll Numbers

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is under pressure from members of his own Liberal Party to resign following poor polling results. Despite facing internal dissent, Trudeau plans to lead the Liberals into the next election in October 2025. Conservative opposition currently holds a significant poll advantage.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is confronting mounting pressure from within his ruling Liberal Party, as some members hold him responsible for the party's recent poor performance in polls. Several legislators have publicly expressed dissatisfaction and a desire for Trudeau to step down after nine years of leadership.

Amid such challenges, Trudeau remains firm in his intention to lead the Liberals into the next national election, scheduled by October 2025. However, survey data suggests that under his leadership, the party risks being significantly outperformed by the rival Conservative Party.

A Nanos Research survey places the Conservatives well ahead at 39% public support compared to the Liberals' 23%. Meanwhile, a letter signed by 24 party legislators highlights internal calls for change at the helm, though Canada's political structure currently offers no mechanism for ousting a party leader.
