Impressive number. Especially coming from a right-leaning pollster. But he did an okay job for just having experience as a waiter, didn't he? Don't think about his American citizenship . . . he'd really rather you didn't bother your little Canadian minds about that. . .

63% of Canadians believe Scheer should resign for not winning election: Ipsos exit poll
The Conservative Party may have captured more seats in Monday night’s election than in the previous election, but its leader hasn’t totally captured voter confidence, according to a new poll.
The poll, conducted exclusively for Global News, was held on Oct. 21 — election day.
It asked 9,437 voters what they thought the party leaders should do if they did not win the most seats — resign or stay on as leader.
Voters were asked the same question about four of the five federal party leaders: Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet and Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer.
It was Scheer who voters were most likely to want out.
Scheer’s Conservatives fell to the Liberals on Monday night but will take on Opposition status. They won 122 of 338 seats but placed first in the popular vote nationwide by a slight margin.
The poll showed 63 per cent of voters believe Scheer, sans majority, should resign.
About 37 per cent believed he should carry on as Conservative leader.
It’s an example of how polarizing Scheer is to voters, according to Sean Simpson, vice-president of Ipsos.
“Many Conservative voters were happy with him as leader and excited. Some weren’t. But the vast majority of Canadians outside of Conservative Party voters would like to see him gone.”
The results are similarly grim for Scheer when voters’ answers are analyzed by party preference, Simpson said.
Nearly four in 10 Conservative voters believe he should resign.
“A majority say he can stay, but it’s not an overwhelming majority, while four in 10 are getting the knives out,” he said.
