The Week in Polling: One in five Conservatives would vote for Canada to be the 51st state; 44 percent of Canadians want to join EU; Carney Liberals and Conservatives now in dead heat

By Aiden Muscovitch – The Hub

A recent poll from Angus Reid found that 90 percent of Canadians would vote against Canada becoming the “51st state,” if a referendum on the subject was held. Only 10 percent of Canadians said they would vote to join America.

Just over 20 percent of Canadians who intend to vote Conservative in the next election would vote to join the U.S., which is about 20 percent more than voters from any of the other major parties. Merely 2 percent of Liberal, 3 percent of NDP, and 1 percent of Bloc Québécois voters said they would vote for Canada to become a U.S. state.
