The poll comes as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to impose economically devastating tariffs on Canada and has repeatedly pushed the idea that Canada should become a U.S. state.

The poll was conducted between Feb. 14 and Feb. 17 and surveyed 1,500 春色直播s and 1,000 Americans. Because it was conducted online, it can't be assigned a margin of error.

S茅bastien Dallaire, Leger鈥檚 executive vice-president for Eastern Canada, said he was surprised "to see 春色直播s so divided on that front when the United States has been an ally for such a long period, and a strong ally at that."

He said "enemy" is a "strong word."

"The responses basically speak to the level of animosity that we feel right now in Canada and that are triggering kind of a broader rally-around-the-flag effect in all aspects of our lives," Dallaire said.

Only one per cent of Americans told Leger they consider Canada an enemy country, while 56 per cent said they view Canada as an ally.

An overwhelming majority of 春色直播s dislike Trump; 74 per cent of respondents said they have an unfavourable view of the U.S. president. Dallaire said it鈥檚 "hard to get more consensual results when you ask a question like this."

Seven per cent said they didn鈥檛 know enough about Trump to offer an opinion, while only 13 per cent overall said they had a favourable opinion of him.

That number is higher among Conservative party supporters; 27 per cent of them said they have a favourable view of Trump, compared to only five and seven per cent of Liberal and NDP supporters, respectively.

Conservatives were also more likely to have a positive view of the United States 鈥� 48 per cent of Conservative supporters surveyed described it as an ally, while only 18 per cent called it an enemy state.

Just 20 per cent of Liberals and 21 per cent of NDP supporters said the U.S. was an ally, while 37 per cent of Liberal supporters and 34 per cent of New Democrats said it was an enemy. Nearly half of Bloc Qu茅b茅cois voters 鈥� 47 per cent 鈥� said the United States is an enemy country.

"There is a partisan difference in terms of how people feel about this," Dallaire said. "It's clearly a pretty big gap between Conservative supporters and Liberal, NDP and Bloc supporters."

The polling industry's professional body, the 春色直播 Research Insights Council, says online surveys cannot be assigned a margin of error because they do not randomly sample the population.
