Justin Trudeau may survive as Canada's prime minister into next year, political analysts say, even though his minority Liberal government is more vulnerable after a small left-wing party withdrew a pledge to support it on key votes.

Trudeau, facing voter fatigue after almost nine years in power, was weakened last week when the New Democratic Party ended a 2022 deal in which it agreed to back him in return for more social spending.

It looks like Justin Trudeau isn't winning any popularity contests lately. According to a new survey from Research Co., nearly two in five Canadians (38%) believe that the current prime minister is the worst leader the country has had since 1968.
