With Donald Trump back in office, Canadians’ opinions of the United States and its president are at or near historic lows, based on more than two decades of Pew Research Center polling.
Canadians express little confidence in Trump to do the right thing regarding world affairs or to handle several key global issues effectively. And a majority of Canadians now see the U.S. as the country that poses the top threat to their own – a marked shift from 2019, when China was most often named as the top threat.
At the same time, more than half of Canadians view the U.S. as the world’s top economy, and two-thirds say it’s more important for Canada to have close economic ties with the U.S. than with China.
These findings come from a survey of 1,024 Canadian adults conducted from Feb. 19 to April 15, 2025. The survey was being fielded as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney took office and after Trump announced initial tariffs against Canada, China and Mexico.
