Canada - National UltraPoll14th November 2018

POLL EMBARGOED UNTIL 14TH NOVEMBER 2018, 6 AM EST

METHODOLOGYThe analysis in this report is based on results of a survey conducted between October 30th to November 7th, 2018 among a sample of 7961 adults, 18 years of age or older, living in Canada. The survey was conducted using automated telephone interviews (Smart IVR). Respondents were interviewed on both landlines and cellular phones. The survey is intended to represent the voting population of Canada.

The survey was conducted by Mainstreet Research and was not sponsored by a third party.

The sampling frame was derived from both a national telephone directory compiled by Mainstreet Research from various commerically available sources and random digit dialing. The part of the survey that dialed from the directory was conducted as a stratified dial of the ten Canadian provinces. In the case of random digit dials, respondents were asked the additional question of what region of the country they resided in.

The margin of error for this poll is +/- 1.09% and is accurate 19 times out of 20.

TRUDEAU LIBERALS WOULD WIN BIG MAJORITY IF ELECTION WERE HELD TODAY

26 July 2018 (Ottawa, ON) – The governing Liberals are on track to win a substantially large majority if an election were held today.

Those are the findings from Mainstreet Research’s latest UltraPoll, a conglomeration of ten provincial polls. The poll surveyed 7961 Canadians between October 30th and November 7th. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 1.09% and is accurate 19 times out of 20.

“If things stay the way are now, Justin Trudeau could secure a majority without winning a seat west of Ontario”, said Quito Maggi, President and CEO of Mainstreet Research. “The Liberals are also narrowly ahead in British Columbia as well, but they are over 40% in Ontario, Quebec, and the Atlantic provinces.”

Among decided and leaning voters, the Liberals led by Justin Trudeau have 39.3% support (-0.1% since our last poll in July), while the Conservatives led by Andrew Scheer have 34.6% (-2.3%). The NDP led by Jagmeet Singh have 10.8% support (-1%), while the Greens with Elizabeth May at the helm have 6.8% (-0.2%). The Bloc Quebecois have 3.4% (+1%) overall, but 14.4% in Quebec. The People’s Party led by Maxime Bernier has 3.8%.

“The Conservative vote is inefficient as Scheer will end up piling big wins in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba”, continued Maggi. “Beyond this, the Liberals have over a twelve point among women and voters under 35, as well as a six point lead among voters older than 65.”

“It will be tough for Andrew Scheer to win when Justin Trudeau has a big lead among the largest age cohort, and the age bracket most likely to vote.”

The poll also asked whether Canadians were optimistic or pessimistic about their personal finances and the Canadian economy in general. The survey found that 59% of respondents were optimistic about the Canadian economy, with 20.3% being very optimistic.

There were similar findings regarding Canadians’ sentiment about personal finances. 62.6% were optimistic about their personal finances for the rest of the year, with nearly 25% being very optimistic.

“These numbers point to why Trudeau is doing well,” concluded Maggi. “If Canadians generally feel good about the economy and their personal finances, then they likely will not be willing to change the government.”

Full Questionnaire

The analysis in this report is based on results of a survey conducted between October 30th, 2018 and November 7th 2018, among a sample of 7961 adults, 18 years of age or older, living in Canada. The survey was conducted using Interactive Voice Recording. Respondents were interviews on both landlines and cellular phones. The survey is intended to represent the voting population of Canada.

This survey was conducted by Mainstreet Research and has not been sponsored by any third-party organization.

The sampling frame was derived from both a national telephone directory compiled by Mainstreet Research from various commercially available sources and random digit dialing. The survey that dialed from the directory was conducted as a stratified dial of the ten Canadian provinces. In the case of random digit dials, respondents were asked the additional question of what region of the country they resided in. Respondents were dialed at random.

At least two attempts were made to complete an interview at every sampled telephone number. The calls were staggered over times of day and two days to maximize the chances of making contact with a potential respondent. Interviewing was also spread as evenly as possible across the field period.

The questionnaire used in this survey is available in this report and online at www.mainstreetresearch.ca. Questions are asked as they appear in the release document. If a question is asked of a subset of the sample a descriptive note is added in parenthesis preceding the question.

The sample was weighted by population parameters from the Canada 2016 Census for adults 18 years of age or older in Canada. The population parameters used for weighting are age, gender, and region.

The margin of error for this poll is +/- 1.09% at the 95% confidence level. Margins of error are higher in each subsample.
