Canadians favour Harris over Trump by a landslide.

[NAME REMOVED]

Two-thirds of Canadians hold a favourable view of Kamala Harris, and half say they are "hopeful" at the prospect of the Democratic presumptive nominee winning the U.S. presidential election in November, according to an Angus Reid Institute online survey released Wednesday.

Harris performed best with women, particularly those 55 and older as nearly 80 per cent of the demographic said they had a positive impression(opens in a new tab) of the U.S. vice-president. She also carried favourable ratings among older men, as males 55 and older are more likely (71 per cent) to have a high opinion of Harris than any other age group under 55, regardless of gender.

How Canadians see Harris may have more to do with how they view her political rival, former U.S. president and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Thirty-five per cent of respondents say they feel "relieved" when they think of Harris, while 76 per cent of Canadians hold an unfavourable view of Trump.

Other words associated with Trump were "worried," "dumbfounded" and "disappointed."

However, not all respondents hold a positive view of Harris. Approximately 40 per cent of men under 55 hold unfavourable views of her, with younger men describing her as "dishonest," "arrogant" or "corrupt."

The survey also revealed that Canadians overwhelmingly believe it's easier for men to get elected to high political office, with 73 per cent saying it's harder for female candidates to get elected, while 22 per cent say gender plays no role.

This conflicts with the survey also reporting that most voters say there's no difference between male and female politicians when it comes to listening to voters, seeking compromise across the aisle, making tough decisions and performing competently.

Harris, who is both Black and South Asian, has faced attacks from the GOP and online when it comes to her race. Trump told the National Association of Black Journalists last month that Harris misled voters about her race and "happened to turn Black," while some Republican members of Congress have called her "a DEI hire," a reference to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives.

According to the survey, Canadians are split as to whether Harris' race will be an advantage or disadvantage, with 26 per cent saying it gives her an advantage, 21 per cent saying it's a disadvantage and 33 per cent believing it will make no difference. Most of the older Canadians and men under 35 who were surveyed believe it will boost her efforts to win the presidency, while most women under 55 believe it will be an impediment.

This survey mimics the attitudes Canadians had of Biden compared to Trump in 2020, where Biden was favoured by Canadians at a astounding percentage of 84-16.

And actualy not far off hillary 

Two polls conducted in recent months by Abacus Data and Mainstreet Research have shown that 73 to 80 per cent of Canadians would vote for Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, if they had the chance.

Canadians absolutely do not like trump as a group.

Justin has been trying to tie into this anyway he can. It actually made me wonder if he might try an election run this fall where he could still basically run against trump. If trump loses that opportunity is gone so if he waits he may not have an opportunity. He's got really nothing else going for him so trying to present the image that he is an anti-trump and that believer is a trump disciple might be one of his only lanes.

The mainstream media here is also very anti-Trump. I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen CBC or CTV even speak to someone who dares to defend Trump.

Absolutely. Also, people that tend to follow politics in the states closely tend to be left-wingers which is why they import the southern culture wars up here to the north. So almost all the media exposure from the south that gets seen up here is ridiculously anti-trump. 

I recently started using edge as my browser for variety of reasons and it's got the Microsoft news feed built in obviously, and I was absolutely shocked at how many absolutely incorrect and brutally biased auntie trump articles were in it. And that's what Canadians using edge will see.

This is definitely not true. 

If it were, how can you explain the Worldwide hatred of Trump. With the exception of India, Philippines, Israel, all countries have a more negative view of Trump than any other US President in modern history. This is especially true for European countries, where both World Wars started, UK, France, Germany, etc. have admiration for the US under Trump at lows not seen in history.

 

https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/01/08/trump-ratings-remain-low-around-globe-while-views-of-u-s-stay-mostly-favorable/

 

Trump favorability (percentage):

 

Australia -35

Canada -28

UK - 32

France - 23

Spain - 21

Germany - 13

Italy - 32

Sweden - 18

 

These poll results remained virtually unchanged through 2017-2021. 

If Canada is "influenced" by the liberal US media to "hate Trump," how does one explain the countries that like Trump even less, that do not even speak english, and do not carry US news (i.e. France, Sweden, Germany, Spain)?  If anything, English countries score higher on the Trump popularity ratings.

What's that got to do with the media in Canada being grossly proportionally anti trump?

Or are you trying to say that our news is balanced, but that people sit back and tell themselves "be that as it may, Austrailia doesn't like him and by god i always listen to australia!" 

Give your head a shake. In canada, which is what we're discussing, the media coverage regarding trump is absolutely overwhelmingly negative. That's going to colour people's opinion.  Maybe there's something similar in other countries or maybe they don't like him for other reasons. I don't know. But here - that's the case.

Thank you.

You have given the people who browse the forum an example of your intelligence quotient.  

Well done, sir.

So in other words I'm right and you have no rebuttal. You realized you once again failed to address the issue being discussed and you wanted to be my fault    

I don't think it's me that the people who browse this forum will be thinking about reading this thread

Suuuuurrree - that's why you went and literally deleted 7 pages worth of your posts to hide your shame from others.  because you thought people liked them so much  

Looking at our profiles i get more likes than you do.  So if that's your criteria....
