Previous polling done by Ipsos showed that in July of 2021, nearly seven out of 10 (70%) of Canadians said they would support more lockdown measures amid a fourth wave of the pandemic, which dropped to 63 % in September and now sits at just 56 % as an Omicron-driven wave begins to rise across the country.
Darrell Bricker, Ipsos’ CEO of public affairs, says that the dwindling number may be reflective of Canadians feeling not only frustrated over the repeated lockdowns, but also questioning if this is the right thing to be doing given the high vaccination rates Canada has.
