'Not a breakout budget': No post-budget bump in support for Liberals, says Nanos

Share
OTTAWA -

The federal Liberals are not seeing any bump in support following the release of the 2022 federal budget that unveiled new spending on housing, national defence, and progressive policy commitments, according to pollster Nik Nanos.

As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland continue their cross-Canada post-budget tour to tout and re-announce elements of the budget, Nanos said that the spending document seems to have done little more than 鈥渇eed and consolidate the progressive base that they currently have.鈥 

鈥淲hen you check out that trend line, and look at the Conservative trend line, the Liberal trend line, they're basically intertwined right now. And in the latest Nanos tracking that's just been released, there's been no material pick up for the Liberals,鈥 Nanos said in the latest episode of 麻豆影视鈥 podcast Trend Line.

鈥淪ometimes there's a budget honeymoon because they're spending lots of goodies. In this case, no budget honeymoon has emerged so far in the tracking.鈥

Nanos said that the more moderate spending budget that shows the deficit is on a decline, appeals to their core supporters but didn鈥檛 include much that was new and could have potentially broadened their support.

According to Nanos鈥 latest ballot tracking, as of April 8 the Liberals and Conservatives were both at 33 per cent support, while the NDP were at 18 per cent. The shift from a week prior shows that the Liberals held steady at 33 per cent, while the Conservatives saw an uptick from the 31 per cent support as of April 1. Post-budget the NDP are down from 21 per cent a week prior.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not a breakout budget and there's no bounce in the numbers, that's for sure,鈥 Nanos said.

When the Liberal government chopped a planned beer excise tax hike to two per cent from 4.5 per cent and froze future increases until after the next election, says political columnist Don Martin, it almost guaranteed a similar carbon tax move in the offing.
