Notes: The March survey asked “When thinking of the following countries and their relationship to Canada, do you feel they are an ally, a neutral country, or an enemy country?” The February survey asked “Do you consider the United States to be an ally, a neutral country, or an enemy country?” The fourth category in the March survey was “unsure” while the fourth category in the February survey was “DK/refusal.” Data does not add up to 100 due to rounding.
