Mark Carney - most popular PM in Canadian history?

Published on May 22, 2026 at 8:55 PM

As of April 2026, Mark Carney holds the highest approval rating of any Canadian PM at 67%.

His rise in popularity comes from public trust in his economic expertise, steady crisis management, and calm leadership, especially during times of economic uncertainty and global instability.

This 67% rating edges past the previous highs of Jean Chrétien (66%), Justin Trudeau (65%), and John Diefenbaker (64%). Polls from the Angus Reid Institute and other national surveys show that Carney enjoys strong support across demographics, far surpassing other party leaders like Pierre Poilievre, Don Davies, and Yves-François Blanchet. His leadership is credited with delivering real results, from major economic partnerships to attracting foreign investment and advancing key policy initiatives.

While historians often judge leaders by long-term achievements and legacy, Carney’s standing is based on real-time public approval—which currently puts him at the very top in Canadian political history.

Foreign country leaders also have an extremely high opinion of the Canadian Prime Minister. 

Insiders in the American government suggest Donald Trump is furious at the suggestion that Prime Minister Carney may be more popular than him.
