27 % said they could “very confidently” explain it.

What’s more noteworthy is the 57% who said the situation has worsened their opinion of the Prime Minister, while 7 percent said it actually improved their view of Justin Trudeau.

59% of the 1,301 people polled said that the situation with SNC Lavalin and the Prime Minister’s office will impact how they vote this fall.
