OTTAWA (Reuters) - About two-thirds of Canadians surveyed this month said American democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump in the White House, and about half said the United States is on the way to becoming an authoritarian state, a poll released on Monday said.
The November U.S. election is likely to pit President Joe Biden against Trump, who is the clear frontrunner to win the Republican nomination as voting in the presidential primary race kicks off in Iowa on Monday.
Sixty-four percent of respondents in the Angus Reid Institute poll of 1,510 Canadians said they agreed with the statement: "U.S. democracy cannot survive another four years of Donald Trump." Twenty-eight percent disagreed.
The Jan. 6, 2021 attack on Capitol Hill by Trump supporters seeking to block certification of Biden's 2020 election win shocked many Canadians, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly blamed Trump for inciting the mob.
Trump has vowed if elected again to punish his political enemies, and he has drawn criticism for using increasingly authoritarian language.
Three times as many Canadians say a Biden victory would be better for Canada's economy (53%) than a Trump win (18%), according to the poll which was seen exclusively by Reuters. The poll, taken between Jan. 9-11, had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points
Same Canada, same
Here are the detailed tables and as usual with this kind of question it's Conservatives VS everybody else.

The largest contingent of people who thinks Trump would be better votes Conservative Party of Canada, is a man, and has high school or less education.
They also are unfortunately on a path towards putting Conservatives in government here in Canada.
I'm not sure it really deserves to survive if this country elects Trump a second time.
The point trump has abundantly made is that he wishes to do away with democracy as we knew it.
It’s not that it won’t survive some rambling and ineffectual idiot, it will be actively crushed by him and his supporters.
I'm an American and I don't expect democracy to survive the orange bastard either.
Canadians are correct.
Please invade. I’ll leave the back door open. 😎
It’s because it can’t. Democracy is gone when Trump is elected.
They're not alone
Well we can't stand another 4 years of genocide joe. A man that has no problems in funding a genocidal dirt army that kill innocent men, woman, and children before our very eyes (media)
It's ok, the continent's gonna split up the middle pretty soon from all the fracking, there ain't gonna be a country there in the first place pretty soon.
We are gonna take all you fucks down with us, and its because we are sick of the fat jokes. I mean....im fat. But its not because I'm American.
