Hello,

Every week, we survey Canadians and Americans to explore their perspectives on COVID-19 and other current events. To help you stay up to date, we are sharing the results of our latest survey.
COVID-19 SURVEY RESULTS – AUGUST 5, 2020
Conducted using our representative LEO (Leger Opinion) panel, in partnership with the Association for Canadian Studies (ACS), and published in The Canadian Press.
  • 57% of Canadians are afraid of contracting COVID-19 (the same proportion as last week).
IN THE NEWS
WE CHARITY
  • 49% of Canadians say the WE Charity controversy has worsened their opinion of Justin Trudeau.
  • 49% of Canadians think that there should be an election if Justin Trudeau is found guilty of breaching the ethics code.
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
  • Canadians and Americans are divided on whether it is justifiable to accuse people of sexual misconduct on social media.
  • Canadians find accusations of sexual misconduct made on social media nearly twice as credible (60%) if the victim’s identity is shared, versus if they remain anonymous (32%).
PROFESSIONAL SPORTS
  • About one-third of Canadians (33%) and Americans (32%) think professional sports should resume although no COVID-19 vaccine is available.
