Pierre Poilievre's popularity is giving Doug Ford's Tories a boost, poll suggests

At the same time, embattled Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is proving to be a drag on provincial Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie.

Despite their private differences — Ford skipped a recent Poilievre rally in Etobicoke that was a nine-minute drive from his home — the federal Tory leader appears to be giving the provincial Progressive Conservative premier a boost. 
 
"Poilievre currently gets more attention in Ontario than the premier of Ontario does, so that's probably a factor," Abacus president David Coletto said Friday.
 
"A big part of the Poilievre halo is among younger voters in Ontario. They are very motivated," noted Coletto.
 
The poll found the honeymoon for Crombie, a former Mississauga mayor who was elected party leader on Dec. 2, seems to have been brief.
 
"There's no question it is a very hard thing to be a Liberal leader anywhere in the country now and Ontario is no exception," said Coletto.
 
"As long as Trudeau is around — and the federal Liberal brand is as weak as it is — it's bad news for Bonnie Crombie," he said.

It's interesting - i'm sure most people know in their heads there's a difference between the ontario libs and conservatives and the feds ones.  They're really not that connected. And ford has on several occasions shown a bit of contempt for PP.  But - sounds like the people are moving away from left wing politics in general in many parts of the country. Friends don't let friends vote woke.
