The Pollcast: The latest numbers on the SNC-Lavalin affair

With nearly every passing day, there's a new development in the SNC-Lavalin affair. Tracking public opinion in such a fluid situation is a lot like trying to hit a moving target.

Abacus Data has been surveying Canadians consistently over the last few weeks, providing before-and-after snapshots of public opinion at key moments of the saga: the initial breaking of the story in the Globe and Mail, former attorney-general Jody Wilson-Raybould's resignation from cabinet, the resignation of the prime minister's principal secretary Gerald Butts, the testimony of Wilson-Raybould and even this week's departure of Jane Philpott from the Liberal cabinet.

The polling numbers show that the Liberals' support is in decline and that Justin Trudeauhimself may be taking the biggest hit. But the numbers also suggest that the party may have hit a floor.

In the wake of Wilson-Raybould's testimony on Feb. 27, the Conservatives opened a seven-point lead over the Liberals in Abacus's polling. But since then, that lead has dwindled to two points.
