If Canadians could vote in the U.S. election, a majority would choose to send Kamala Harris to the White House.
In a new survey from polling firm Leger, 64 per cent of Canadian respondents said if they could cast a ballot, they’d put their support behind vice-president Harris while 21 per cent would support former president Donald Trump. Fifteen per cent weren’t sure what they would do.
Those who intend to vote Conservative in the next Canadian election were split on where their hypothetical ballot would land. Forty-five per cent would back Trump while 42 per cent said they’d vote for Harris.
Canadians 55 and older, Quebecers and women were more likely to support Harris.
