This is The Week in Polling, your Saturday dose of interesting numbers from top pollsters in Canada and around the world, curated by The Hub. Here’s what we’re looking at this week.
The majority of Canadians view their personal finances to be “poor” or “very poor”
More than 50 percent of Canadians consider their personal finances to be “poor” or “very poor,” a statistic which has gone up by nine points since a similar Research Co. survey was conducted in January 2024.
Nearly two-thirds of Canadians, 64 percent, consider the current economic conditions in Canada as “bad” or “very bad”, while just over 30 percent see them as “very good” or “good.”
Moreover, just over a third of Canadians, 34 percent, expect the country’s financial standing to falter over the next six months. Only 15 percent believe that a recovery is possible, while 43 percent foresee no changes.
