    Some Liberal members of Parliament heading into a national caucus retreat this week say they’re facing blowback from voters at the doorsteps — and they hope the prime minister and his inner circle listen to their concerns before it’s too late.

    The Liberals are holding three days of meetings starting Tuesday in London, Ont., a key battleground region of southwestern Ontario, as their party faces its worst polling numbers since forming government in 2015.

    The talks are set to focus on making housing more affordable and increasing supply, improving health care and fighting climate change, according to a senior government source.

    A presentation to the Ontario caucus over the summer by David Coletto, Abacus data’s chair and CEO, made their anxiety� worse, said one Liberal source.

    Coletto said the main drivers of the polling trend are angst caused by the cost of living, record high inflation and rising interest rates.

    The Liberals’ polling numbers could shift, said Coletto — either gradually, in response to changes in government policy, or suddenly, in reply to some seismic event like Trudeau’s resignation.
