I don't think the Maclean's article entitled "Trudeau's turn from cool to laughing stock" shows an admiring press.  As for polls everyone knows that NDP, Bloc and Green voters will tell a pollster that they generally approve of Trudeau, but this won't make them vote Liberal next election.  They  are probably sitting similar to the popular vote count from the last election, except that the Liberals just lost BC (and their majority) with the Kinder Morgan decision.  At best they will be a minority government in 2019 and could lose altogether.
