I’m thrilled to announced that Dr. Richard Jenkins (@jenkinsresearch) has been promoted to VP, Research and Chief Methodologist on team @abacusdataca.

Richard joined our team in 2020 and has led our public sector practice and work with some of our biggest, high stakes clients.

He has decades of experience conducting quantitative research and brings that experience into our strategic advice and research and his mentorship of our team.

Excited for the team’s future as we continue to grow and serve a growing roster of global and Canadian clients.

Congrats @jenkinsresearch!

Recruitment is heating up for (2024) 6’10 Oliver Faubert of @brookwoodelite & @FortErieMBB — after one weekend of @3SSBCircuit Oliver has picked up 3 offers. The dynamic 4-man can do just about everything on the court & he does it with a purpose.

Humorous? Yes. But the growth and spread of conspiracies is a troubling development given that democracy depends on a basic shared idea of what is real

[David Coletto @DavidColetto]

Our 3rd release on conspiracy theories is now out. Today, we look at what people believe about COVID.

Less than half of Canadians realize that democracy is in decline but they want the promotion of democracy to be front and centre in our foreign policy

[Abacus Data @abacusdataca]

Do Canadians Think Democracy Is in Decline Globally? And do they think it will impact their lives?

Opposition to Ford government not enough so far to get opponents to coalesce around an alternative.

[Abacus Data @abacusdataca]

New #onpoli poll now live:

🔵PC 35
🔴OLP 28
🟠NDP 24

Ford's negatives rise, but neither Horwath nor Del Duca does any better than last week.

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

Ford's negatives rise slightly but PCs remain in the driver seat in the Ontario provincial election campaign according to our @abacusdataca poll

New @CPhAAPhC data on the mental health of pharmacists in Canada today shows pharmacists with higher levels of burnout than average Canadians. Happy @abacusdataca was able to work on this interesting project

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

As we get back to normal, it is worth pondering how we can all recover from the stress and challenges of the pandemic. The polling on mental health of pharmacists is an alarming call to action

[CPhA/APhC @CPhAAPhC]

New survey data reveals a concerning picture of the health of Canada’s #pharmacy workforce after more than two years on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic: https://t.co/0OmBza0ugL #MentalHealthWeek

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

I think this new @abacusdataca polling on burnout should be a wake-up call for resetting work culture in a post-pandemic world. Half of those under 30 years of age are burned out at work.

Interesting perspective on the role advisors play in family business transition
"Why advisors must work with next generation of business owners" https://t.co/kVDutxA4ZH

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

Having worked in a family business myself, it was great to be part of this great research on family businesses and their transitions to the next generation

[David Coletto @DavidColetto]

Proud that the @abacusdataca team led by @jenkinsresearch worked with @FamBizCanada on this study:

Base rate fallacy. Base rate fallacy. Base rate fallacy. Base rate fallacy. Base rate fallacy. Base rate fallacy. Base rate fallacy. Base rate fallacy. Base rate fallacy.

Dear Hate Mailers, please make an effort to understand the f*ing base rate fallacy. It isn't hard. Promise.

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

Our @abacusdataca poll on the shortage economy is out. How are you experiencing the shortage economy? Two things that I can relate to are burnout and having to wait 6 months for our new furniture

[Abacus Data @abacusdataca]

What are Canadian consumers doing when they face an empty shelf or back-ordered product?

When asked what they did the last time they couldn't get a product they wanted, __ bought a different brand of the same product.

Tune in tomorrow for more!

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

Arguably there are more POR firms now than in 2017 but a decentralized media environment and the fact that polls are potentially cheap news must be part of it.

[Richard Jenkins @PollingGuru]

Pollsters, did you know there were more publicly released polls in 2021 than any of the past five years? In fact, the number keeps going up. What do you think the reason is?

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

The world just seems to be getting a more and more dangerous place but Canadians want to help it seems. Support for increasing assistance to Ukraine evident in out latest @abacusdataca poll

[Abacus Data @abacusdataca]

A new poll conducted for @ukrcancongress finds little opposition for Canada increasing assistance to Ukraine.

[Richard Jenkins @PollingGuru]

2021 had the highest number of publicly released polls in the last 5 years. The public has more information now than ever before about what other think. Though admittedly, there is a lot of noise.

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

Wondering what Canadians think the world thinks about Canada. Turns out according to our @abacusdataca poll that diplomatic, tolerant, and ethical top the list. A majority though think the world sees us a "follower"

[Abacus Data @abacusdataca]

Canadians are quite divided about the role that Canada plays in the world.

Compared with ten years ago, 38% think Canada plays a less important role compared with 29% who think the role is more important.

Vaccine hesitancy gradually declined in Canada as the adult vaccine was rolled out and it looks like we will need the same shifting perspective when it comes to the 5-11 cohort as many parents are hesitant.

[Abacus Data @abacusdataca]

65% of those considered ‘hesitant/undecided’ on vaccinating their children have had one or more COVID shots themselves .

Vaccinating your children isn’t always viewed the same as a decision to vaccinate yourself.

[Richard Jenkins @jenkinsresearch]

New @abacusdataca poll out today on the Throne Speech shows only 17% are at least pretty familiar.
