According to a new Abacus Data poll conducted September 12–17, immigration stands out as a top-five issue for Canadians, with 28% of respondents identifying it as a priority.

The survey of 2,230 adults shows a sharp partisan divide: 37% of Conservative voters rank immigration as a leading issue compared to 20% of Liberal voters.

On policy management, Conservatives hold a 43-point advantage (60% to 17%) over Liberals, even as the two parties remain tied at 40% in overall voting intention.

Abacus Data CEO David Coletto says immigration concerns are contributing to a “rising sense of unease” as Parliament resumes amid shifting voter priorities.
