Canadians' impressions of U.S. drop to all-time low, according to poll

You better believe this is largely driven by Drumpf and his policies.

Canadian opinion of the United States has hit an all-time low, a new poll suggests.

Only 44 per cent of Canadians see the U.S. favourably today compared to nearly 70 per cent in 2012, according to a poll released by Environics Institute on Monday.

The current level is the lowest recorded since the institute began asking the question in 1982.

The election of President Donald Trump has had a “dramatic impact,” on how Canadians see their southern neighbor, the study says. Twenty per cent of respondents say they have a “very unfavourable” opinion of the country, and another 33 per cent say they hold a “somewhat unfavourable” view of the States.
