The Trump effect

The Irish Times reports on how Trump attacking leaders increases their popularity back home. Examples include:

• Canada Government net approval has gone from -42% to +16%
• Mexico President net approval gone from +55% to +70%
• Ukraine President net approval gone from +20% to +38%
• Danish PM approval up from 31% to 45%

The change in the fortunes of the Canadian Liberal Party has been the most astonishing.

The Canadian Conservative Party have gone from two years of being 99% likely to form a majority Government to now 1% likely to form Government. And all since February 2025.
