A total of 3% believe Patrick Brown is best positioned to win, 2% for Leslyn Lewis, 1% for Scott Aitchison, and less than 1% for both Roman Baber and Joseph Bourgault..The poll also found 24% were unsure of who had the best chance of winning the election, while 19% believe none of them are best suited..Those surveyed from Atlantic Canada, Ontario, and Quebec were more likely to see Charest as the best candidate to win the election, while the Prairies and B.C. thought Polievre had a better chance..Men were more than twice as likely as women to believe Poilievre had the best chance of winning the election. Charest had the highest amount of support in the 55 plus age category, while Poilievre’s support was highest among those aged 18 to 34..

This suggests that he is currently more appealing to the general populace than Poilievre,” Nanos said..“That said, the first hurdle for all the candidates is to win the support of the Conservative Party rank and file.
