Death of the CAQ, Return of the PQ?
That was certainly quick. A couple of months after François Legault’s Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) swallowed up the old Action démocratique du Québec (ADQ), and ended up with eight experienced…
Polls
Early evening robocon
Polling on election fraud allegations…it’s going to happen, might as well take a looksy: “Canadians split on who’s to blame for robocalls: poll.” From Ipsos, it is said to be…
Atlantic Canada Polling Yay!
The ever-intrepid Corporate Research Associates, those who do basically all the polling for the Atlantic provinces provincially, are out with their newest quarterly numbers for all four provinces. Let’s start…
Forum Research – 37-28-25
If you need further proof that the robocalls scandal has either not hit its full stride yet, or has failed to capture the imagination of voters as a “true” scandal…
Nanos, Robocalls, and Super Tuesday
Sorry for my lack of posting the past three days – but I haven’t missed much anyways. The big thing I did miss was the recent Nanos Research poll, showing…
EKOS Poll Shows Little Movement
There’s very little difference between the last EKOS poll and this one, despite the robocall controversy. The topline numbers (with changes from last poll) are as follows: Con: 31.5% (+0.1)…
Toronto-Danforth Polling!
308.com graphic And it’s exactly the same as what happened in May 2011! This is going to be an uneventful by-election. While it is a riding poll – they’re not…
Forum Alberta Poll & 2012 Election Projections
Forum Research has another poll out for the Alberta provincial scene, showing a closer race than last time, with 37% PC, 30% Wildrose, 14% ALP, and 13% NDP. Note, however,…
Harper not in step with Canadians on OAS
This is not a well chosen headline for the report that was written: “Harper’s OAS reforms in step with public opinion: poll.” This one was a little better but still…
Angus Reid Poll of BC: 42-28-19
As this Globe and Mail article points out (with a few inaccuracies, like 28% being the “lowest” poll number for the BC Liberals since Clark took office – that’s actually…
CAQ Momentum Falling?
While it’s not a totally established trend yet, it appears that the Coalition pour l’Avenir du Québec and it’s leader François Legault are facing an increasing downward trend in Quebec’s…
Not Another Quirky Nanos Poll….
I’m getting a bit sick of these odd Nanos polls which end up dropping the NDP lower than they should be and the Liberals higher than they should be. The…
Western Polls Gone Wild
Three polls of the two largest Western provinces have come out this week – one for BC, two for Alberta; two done by Forum, one done by Léger – showing…
Abacus Poll: 37-28-21, and the "Bump"
Too many polls have come out this week, and I hope this will be the last one (oh, who am I kidding?). Abacus Data shows an overhyped, within-the-margin-of-error rise for…
Taking yes for an answer
A bunch of nice national headlines from the last few days. “The Bob Rae bounce: Liberals continue to gain steam.” “Tories Lead, Liberals Gain But Remain in Third Place in…
HD Poll: 32-29-25
This is the second poll now to show the federal Conservatives blow 35%, the other being the recent EKOS polling done last month, which had them at 31.4%. In fact,…
Red Wave Envelops Canada
Well not quite, but since the name of the game in the short term is perceived viability, Liberals will take the recent spate of polling. Three polls out, all offer…
Climenhaga’s Wrong on Forum Polls
This. This article by David Climenhaga on the recent Forum poll, who is an otherwise excellent writer out of Alberta, is another reason why I can’t read Rabble.ca for any…
Polls: Bob Rae may be gaining support, and marijuana is popular
Those are the findings of one specific poll. First the poll #’s and the pollster’s speculation: Buoyed by high approval ratings for interim leader Bob Rae, support for the federal…
Two Polls, Two Minorities
Two polls have come to my attention which show that the situation federally and possibly in Quebec is further deteriorating towards minority governments and three-way races. First, in Quebec, the…
