None of the sources gives Carney's polling position before his 2025 leadership win or the anti-American turn, so the 20-point deficit cannot be checked. The only sources repeating the 20-point figure (the Bessent quote in sources 10 and 11) are circular, and the claim faithfully matches the post's wording.
What was said
… I mean, we're not, how are we gonna be at war with Canada? They're going to take their two submarines from the Edmonds and Mall that, you know, he, he came to power, the, uh, on a anti-American, anti-Trump agenda. He was 20 points behind in the poll, and then he started this, and it's unfortunate that he's not doing what's best for the Canadian people. Yeah, uh, I just, I can tell you, I love a Scott Best, and I mean, uh, but he's my hero. …
The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. Sources 10 and 11 repeat the 20-point claim as a quote from Scott Bessent and a commentary transcript, so they restate the claim rather than corroborate it.[2][3]
Context. Early-2025 coverage describes Carney's leadership win as a landslide with 'remarkable polling', and April 2025 polls show Liberals leading, but none gives a pre-campaign deficit figure that would confirm or refute a 20-point gap.[1][4]
Context. Post-trade-fight polls show Liberals with leads and rising support (e.g., 46% vs 32–34% for Conservatives), but these are later snapshots that do not address the pre-anti-American-agenda standing the claim describes.[5][6]
