"No more blue wall, red wall: How electoral reform could stop regional election sweeps"

We were happy to help make Proportional Representation (PR) more concrete by simulating #elxn45 results as PR for @CanadianPress

[Brenden Sommerhalder @BSommerhalder]

Another showing that makes me incredibly proud. From our dedicated telephone interviewers through to our data analytics and QA teams -- keep up the great work. It's important that we continue to prove that while polling isn't easy, it can be done well.

@CanadianPolling All of these within respective margins of error. Nice work again by the Canadian market research industry, and special hat tip to MS for top podium spot this time around

[Brenden Sommerhalder @BSommerhalder]

@Vitormarciano @CanadianPolling We (@MQOResearch) have receipts -- our data dashboard now has "Projections and Results" tab (as of first thing this morning, will update upon finals end of day): https://t.co/mnf0yXwzuV

Note: our projected result is represented by the "Voted" + "Not Voted, 80%+ Likely" filters

[MQO Research @MQOResearch]

An eventful #elxn45 night! This was a story of CPC overperforming our projection and NDP underperforming it (+3.5 / -2.8) -- the difference that made the difference. The avg. error between our projection and the result: ~1.8pts (MoE was 2.1).

[Brenden Sommerhalder @BSommerhalder]

One of my favourite features on our #elxn45 polling data dashboard is ability to filter by voting status (already voted, most/least likely to vote). We found that among the 7.4 million Canadians who voted early, 51% went for the Liberal Party. Wow! https://t.co/mnf0yXwzuV

[MQO Research @MQOResearch]

Our final #elxn45 vote share projection*:

🔴LPC: 44% | 🔵CPC: 38% | 🟠NDP: 9% | ⚜️BQ: 5% | 🟢GPC: 2%

*Among those who already voted or self-rated as 80%+ likely to vote on election day.

#elxn45 is almost here and we look forward to publishing our final poll results for @GPAinsights weekend. In the meantime, we invite you to play with the data we collected each week on our Interactive Election Data Dashboard: https://t.co/VSGJQ90duF

Our latest (post-debate) result for @GPAinsights #Elxn45 polling showing continued stability:
LPC holding steady, CPC/BQ slight gains, NDP ticks down: https://t.co/dYUC7YukeU

[Brenden Sommerhalder @BSommerhalder]

Which leader performed best at the debates? Depends who you ask -- sort of.

🔵CPC voters stuck behind Poilievre (78% choosing him).
🔴LPC voters were less with Carney (66%), with 19% unable to choose someone.
🟠NDP voters had one eye on Singh (54%) and the other on Carney (24%).

[MQO Research @MQOResearch]

Our latest nationwide result for @GPAinsights #Elxn45:
LPC national support holding at +9, but some dynamics in BC (CPC&NDP↑/LPC↓) and QC (LPC↑/BQ&CPC↓).
https://t.co/dYUC7YukeU

[Brenden Sommerhalder @BSommerhalder]

Our latest poll results for #Elxn45.

Stability in nat'l support is hiding interesting churn under the hood this time (swing toward CPC in BC; deepening red in QC..)

As always, don’t bet your life’s savings on any one poll. But -- Let the games begin?
