Daniel Dale of the Toronto Star on Thursday shared the results of a new Gallup survey that seems to show a nosedive in Canadians’ approval of U.S. leadership since President Trump took office.
Gallup survey finds Canadian approval of US leadership plunged from 60% under Obama in 2016 to 20% under Trump in 2017, a record low.
It's now 20% approve, 76% disapprove. Pew's slightly different survey, released in June, found a Canadian decline from 83% to 22%.

Cuts like a knife.
Gallup didn't provide a specific number, but it reports that a higher percentage of Canadians currently approve of China's leadership than the United States's leadership. That's quite an accomplishment.

Did they survey Ezra Klein? China’s leadership seems pretty popular among liberals who don’t live there.
In another new poll today, Canadians were asked specifically about the Trump presidency rather than the US in general. Approve: 13%. Disapprove: 70%. https://t.co/uId9p7S1ag

Imagine how high that disapproval number would have been if all the Americans who threatened to move to Canada if Trump were elected actually moved.
So, what’s the big-picture takeaway from this new survey?
Good. It's Canada. https://t.co/AHYwQw4eoR

I'm trying to think of a circumstance in which I would care, even a little bit, if Canada liked U.S. leadership. https://t.co/Mp8bsNTmwk

On the scale of stats that don't matter, few things place below Canadian approval rates for U.S. presidents. https://t.co/o6axYu9BSw

Uh oh Trump definitely not gonna get any electoral college votes from Ontario or Quebec next election. https://t.co/GBVcuVnF1q

Oh no! How's Trump going to get those Canadian voters to come out in November for the GOP with approval numbers like this? https://t.co/KtjIqRRoUZ

Good thing my opinion of Canadian leadership has also plunged from the height of @stephenharper to the abyss of @JustinTrudeau. https://t.co/U06pN9UviM

Most Americans are unconcerned about the opinions of their chief executive from citizens of a country with Justin Trudeau as their leader. https://t.co/fnHv770x3g

I don't like Trump either but the citizens that elected a monumental squish like Trudeau their "leader" should probably just sit this one out. https://t.co/BhnxFNwTU9
