Trudeau Versus Harper?

A recent poll conducted by Forum Research for the National Post has revealed that with Justin Trudeau at the helm of the Liberal Party, the Liberals would defeat the Conservatives in the next election. Even though Trudeau may be the current favourite to win the Liberal leadership, I suspect the Conservatives may be already preparing a battery of attack ads aimed at undermining his credibility with Canadians, just as they did with Stephane Dion and Michael Ignatieff.

What the new Liberal leader may have in their favour this time however is that it is normal for voters to grow tired of incumbent governments. The desire for change is natural and the new leader of the Liberal party will build upon that sentiment. While the 42^nd Canadian federal election is not until Oct. 19^th, 2015, it is likely the Conservatives will be targeting their new adversary has soon as it is official. They certainly have their work cut out to retain the confidence of Canadians, apparently more so according to the Forum poll if Trudeau is their challenger.
