73% of Canadians support MAID https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38910003/ 71% of Americans believe doctors should be "allowed by law to end the patient’s life by some painless means if the patient and his or her family request it" https://news.gallup.com/poll/648215/americans-favor-legal-eu...

These policies are supported by a strong majority of people.

Literally the abstract of that very study:

> Only 12.1% correctly answered ≥4 of 5 knowledge questions about the MAID law; only 19.2% knew terminal illness is not required and 20.2% knew treatment refusal is compatible with eligibility. 73.3% of participants expressed support for the MAID law in general, matching a nationally representative poll that used the same question. 40.4% of respondents supported MAID for mental illnesses. Support for MAID in the scenarios depicting refusal or lack of access to treatment ranged from 23.2% (lack of access in medical condition) to 32.0% (treatment refusal in medical illness)

Most Canadians express support for MAID but cannot correctly answer questions about it. When Canadians are actually told what's in MAID, they oppose it.

It's also worth noting that quite a lot of polling on this question is done by, or on behalf of, pro-euthanasia organisations; there is often a huge mismatch between the questions asked and the actual legislation proposed and passed (in a very motte-and-bailey kind of way).
