OTTAWA – A new poll suggests that Canadians are divided about what the key issue is in the federal election.

The survey, conducted by Leger (LEH’-zhay) for The Canadian Press, suggests just over a third of Canadians think the most important question in this election is who is best to deal with U-S President Donald Trump and aggressive trade actions.

A third of respondents say the key question is who is best suited to change the direction Canada has taken over the last few years and improve life for Canadians.

The survey suggests that Liberal supporters are much more likely to focus on who can deal with Trump and tariffs, at 59 per cent.

On the other hand, only 15 per cent of Conservatives said that was the biggest issue.

Similarly, 56 per cent of Conservatives said the most important question is who is best to change the direction Canada has taken over the past four to five years and improve life for Canadians, while only 15 per cent of Liberals chose that as the key issue.
