Poll suggests half of Canadians have negative opinion of latest Liberal budget

A new poll suggests the Liberals have not won over voters with their latest budget, though there is broad support for their plan to build millions of homes.

Just shy of half the respondents to Leger's latest survey said they had a negative opinion of the federal budget, which was presented last Tuesday. 

Only 21 per cent said they had a positive opinion, and one-third of respondents said they didn't know or preferred not to answer. 

Still, 65 per cent of those surveyed said the plan to spend $8.5 billion on housing, aimed at building 3.9 million homes by 2031, is good for the country.
