OTTAWA—A new poll says Andrew Scheer’s Conservatives are leading in support among decided and leaning voters as the SNC-Lavalin controversy continues to buffet Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government. The Liberals followed with 33 per cent of respondents indicating they would support the party, while 12 per cent said they intend or would likely vote for the New Democratic Party. A new Forum poll says 34 per cent of respondents approved of Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer’s job performance, compared to 30 per cent for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Thirty per cent of respondents approved of Trudeau’s job performance, compared with 34 per cent for Scheer as leader of the opposition. But the prime minister has denied he or anyone in his office did anything inappropriate in discussing the SNC-Lavalin case with Wilson-Raybould when she was attorney general.
