Canada was spared  Wednesday when the U.S. President Donald Trump announced new punishing tariffs on the rest of the world. But many Canadian industries are already feeling the pinch from tariffs Trump had imposed earlier, and big job losses are on the horizon.  This week, Liberal Leader Mark Carney headed to Ottawa and put on his prime minister's hat to respond to the crisis, just as Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was attempting a different strategy to address the Trump threat — to the country and to his own election campaign. This week, our panel of “recovering partisans” joins us to discuss the campaign's second week, from Trump's tariffs and who they politically benefit, to the policy offerings and the response  — or lack of response — to candidates saying things they simply shouldn't.  But first, Abacus Data's David Coletto gives us the lie of the land: what's moved, what hasn't and what to make  of it. In this episode: David Christopherson, the former NDP MP for Hamilton Centre; Kristina Michaud, the outgoing Bloc Quebecois MP for Avignon—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia; Karen Vecchio, the outgoing Conservative MP for Elgin—Middlesex—London; John McKay, the outgoing Liberal MP for Scarborough—Guildwood; and David Coletto, the CEO of Abacus Data. Hosted by Althia Raj.  This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel. Some of the audio clips this week were sourced from CPAC, CBC, CTV, Global, CNBC, NBC, MSNBC, CNN and ABC. 

Guest: David Coletto, founder and CEO,  Abacus Data.

Federal Conservative Party Leader, Pierre Poilievre, was positioned for a landslide win over the federal liberals, but incomes a new rival leader, and voters seem to have no problem moving the pendulum - and fast! Recent leaks from inside the campaign paint a chaotic picture for the federal tories just one month out from when Canadians head to the polls, and with the unpredictability of a diminishing Canada-US relationship, the concerns that shape the big ballot question come April 28 no longer mirror what they used to be just a few weeks ago. Host David Smith speaks to CEO of Abacus Data, David Coletto, about what's driving the pre-polling tank for a party once destined for victory, as well as what's grabbing the attention of Canadian voters in a time of economic despair, a pending North American trade war, and a sudden burst of Canadian patriotism.

This is an Empire Nights event, proudly presented by the Empire Club of Canada.The stakes could not be higher for Canadians as we choose our next government.  With President Trump imposing tariffs to economically coerce Canada into becoming the 51st state, threats to our water and borders, and the shifting of global alliances away from post-WWII norms, Canadians have awakened to a profound sense of patriotism and resolve.Against this backdrop, Canada's governing party has chosen Mark Carney to lead them into the election against Pierre Poilievre's Conservatives and Jagmeet Singh's NDP at the national level.Most experts agree that the convergence of these two events has made the outcome of Canada's 2025 election less predictable. Just a few months ago, every poll indicated that the Conservatives were heading towards a decisive victory.  With a more competitive election on the horizon, the Empire Club of Canada has brought together a group of experts who will make sense of the rapidly changing political landscape.Join Kory Teneycke, Co-founder and CEO, Rubicon Strategy; Hon. Seamus O'Regan, former Trudeau government cabinet minister; Kathleen Monk, Principal of Monk+Associates; and Laura Stone, Staff Reporter, Globe and Mail as moderator.Kicking off this event will be renowned pollster David Coletto, Chair and CEO of Abacus Data to provide special remarks and a presentation outlining polling data on the mood of the Canadian electorate.

The Herle Burly was created by Air Quotes Media with support from our presenting sponsor TELUS, as well as CN Rail. Alright, greetings you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! As we record this podcast, we are either on the eve of a federal election, or, on the eve of the eve of a federal election as just about everybody expects Prime Minister Carney to call it in a matter of days.Poll watchers know that Mr. Carney seems to have resurrected this dangerous and ephemeral thing called HOPE, for the Liberal Party. The numbers over the last 10 days seem to indicate that Canadians lean to Carney in an election seen as “Who can best protect Canada and our economy in a Triple-T world ... Trump, Trade and Tariffs.”But I want to do a deeper probe of the data and situation today. What exactly is the current state of play? How solid is this new Liberal support? How are Carney and Poilievre both currently positioned? And what room is there for other issues to creep into the narrative?I've assembled a crack Pollster Panel to have that conversation: David Coletto, Sylvie Paradis, and Frank Graves.David is Founder, Chair and CEO of Abacus Data and is one of Canada's best known public opinion analysts and social researchers.Sylvie is a noted Quebec-based pollster where she's served as poller, data modeler and forecaster for the QLP for 13 years, and was national co-chair of the 2019 Trudeau campaign for Quebec.And Frank, the famous (or maybe infamous) “Voice of Franky”, is the Founder and President of EKOS Research Associates, and one of this country's leading applied social researchers.Thank you for joining us on #TheHerleBurly podcast.

In this conversation, conservative pundit Sabrina Maddeaux and economist Mike Moffatt discuss the evolving landscape of political polling with David Coletto, CEO of Abacus Data. They explore the significant shifts in voter sentiment influenced by key events such as Justin Trudeau's exit, Mark Carney's rise, and the impact of Donald Trump. The discussion delves into demographic changes, the emergence of a precarity mindset among voters, and the implications for the Liberal Party and the NDP. The conversation also touches on regional dynamics, particularly in Quebec, and the challenges of predicting voter turnout in the upcoming federal election.00:00 Introduction01:24 Shifting Political Landscape in Canada04:08 Is this temporary or permanent?05:13 The demographic shift in people's attitudes towards the Liberals06:52 Understanding the precarity mindset09:40 Why Mark Carney has an advantage12:19 The collapse of the NDP vote?15:50 How do projection models work?17:51 The incumbency factor20:33 Regional dynamics in the Quebec factor23:20 Undecided voters and voter turnout25:05 Election call predictions26:36 Remembering Gordon BrownLinks"Ok, Boomer" - Why Baby Boomers might be the Liberal Party's savioursGordon BrownHosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina Maddeaux Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

CBC's Poll Tracker shows the Liberal Party in majority territory for the first time in years.

Plus, the Conservatives accuse Carney of ‘hiding' his assets from Canadians. We ask a blind trust expert whether Carney is falling short of meeting conflict of interest rules.

Roy L Hales/Cortes Currents - After trailing far behind in the polls for the better part of two years, the Liberal party's propects appear to be on the rise nationally, and the gap between the Conservatives and NDP is narrowing in our riding. Canada's two leading political forecasting websites, 338Canada and CBC's poll tracker, still show the Conservatives in the front, but no longer predict a Conservative majority. Last week Ipsos and EKOS both released polls showing the Liberal party edging into the lead. However Innovative Reseach, Abacus Data, Leger, and Nanos all reported the Conservatives were still ahead. On Thursday, CBC's Poll Tracker reported the weighed average of all these polls showing the Conservatives still had 40% of the popular vote, the Liberals trailing with 31%, NDP with 14% and Greens had only 4%. 338Canada's projection, released Sunday, March 2, showed the gap narrowing. The Conservatives were still leading, but with 39% of the popular vote to the Liberals 33%. The NDP and Greens remained unchanged. A special feature of 338Canada's projections is they give breakdowns for every riding. North Island-Powell River is still regarded as a safe Conservative seat, but the gap between the two leading parties shrank 5% during the past week. The Conservatives now have 47%, NDP 29% and Greens 6%. If there was a Liberal candidate, 15% of the population may have chosen her or him. As there is no Liberal candidate, a significant number of those people would probably choose NDP. If they all did, there would only be a 3% gap between the Conservatives and NDP. Given the speed in which the political situation is changing, it is important to realize that none of this data was collected after Tuesday, February 25. On a National level, the gap between the two leading parties has most likely narrowed. Similarly, the NDP are probably doing better than what the projection shows for North Island-Powell River.

People in Ontario will head to the polls on Thursday, in an election that was called more than a year ahead of schedule.Doug Ford, leader of the Progressive Conservative Party is on track to win a third mandate. He says he needs the province's confidence to deal with U.S.President Trump's tariffs. The latest from Abacus Data puts the Conservatives at 41 per cent of the vote share.CBC Queen's Park reporter Mike Crawley talks to host Jayme Poisson about the campaign so far, including the fight that other parties have mounted on issues like health care, and why Doug Ford is holding a steady lead.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

As the Liberal party leadership race heats up, some experts say Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre may adjust his campaign rhetoric and show Canadians a clear plan for dealing with American pressures. We spoke with Tim Powers, the Chairman of Summa Strategies and the Managing Director of Abacus Data.

Do you identify as right or left on the political scale? What if the answer is more nuanced than that? David Coletto, founder, chair and CEO of Abacus Data, joins Evan to discuss why the political spectrum has more variance and how we can better understand each other this way in 2025.

On the heels of the fires that continue in Los Angeles, the Copernicus Climate Change Service reported that 2024 was the first calendar year that was 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels – the limit agreed upon in the Paris Climate Agreement. Yet, support for climate policies here in Canada seem to be on the wane. According to Abacus Data, concern about climate change has decreased 14 points between 2023 and 2024, from 76% to 62% of Canadians. And, according to an Ipsos poll from this month, climate change or the environment was ranked ninth among the list of priorities for Canadian voters. Housing, healthcare, economy, inflation/interest rates, and immigration rounded out the top five. Do we simply no longer care about climate change in this country – especially at the ballot box?

With the U.S. election just a day away and a Canadian one that could be called very soon, we're all spending a lot of time talking about polls.But how exactly do they work and what happens when they get it wrong? Last week, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe won another majority government for the Saskatchewan Party despite some polls beforehand showing the NDP in the lead. And famously, the polls highly underestimated Donald Trump's voter base in both 2016 and 2020.So to better understand the ins and outs of the polling business and the challenges of adapting it to changing habits and politics, we're talking to David Coletto, founder and CEO of Abacus Data.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit: https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

The Liberal government survived its first confidence vote Wednesday, when the Bloc Québécois and the NDP decided to offer Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a lifeline. The Bloc's demand are clear — the protection of supply management for poultry, eggs and dairy and more generous pension payments for seniors aged 65 to 74. The NDP's less so. But, regardless, both parties concluded an election with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre leading in the polls is more dangerous to them now than cooperation with the Grits. This week on “It's Political” we'll unpack what the parties need to do in the next few weeks and months to accomplish their own goals, with a panel of political strategists. Then we'll hear from pollsters about what the landscape looks like, how it has shifted and where the opportunities lie. And finally, we'll sit down with former Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe to discuss the party's new position as the Liberals' dance partner, what it could mean for sovereignty and what more the Bloc hopes to extract. Some of the clips you heard on this week were sourced from the Canadian Press Gallery, CPAC, the House of Commons, and the CBC. In this episode: Crestview Strategy Partner Ginny Roth, Syntax Strategic Principal George Soule, Canada 2020 President and CEO Braeden Caley, Abacus Data founder and CEO David Coletto, Leger Marketing Executive Vice President for Eastern Canada Sébastien Dallaire, Former Bloc Québécois leader Gilles Duceppe, and Toronto Star Ottawa Bureau Reporter Mark Ramzy.  This episode of “It's Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Matt Hearn is our sound engineer. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

In politics, a “third rail” is an issue that's so volatile, so dangerous, that politicians are afraid to touch it. The firm Abacus Data has just come out with a new poll that looks at the “third rails” of Canadian politics — the issues that would make people vote for or against a political party who promised that idea. And some of their findings — and the way they cut across the political spectrum — are actually pretty surprising.David Coletto, the founder, chair and CEO of Abacus Data, breaks down those findings and what they may mean about the state of the country.For transcripts of Front Burner, please visit:  https://www.cbc.ca/radio/frontburner/transcripts

With the high-stakes byelection in Toronto–St. Paul's on Monday, I invited David Coletto, chair and CEO of Abacus Data, to come back on the podcast to do another polling deep-dive — this time on on where things stand in Toronto and beyond.Armed with reams of polling data, we take a look at Battleground Toronto, as well as Justin Trudeau's standing among various demographic groups across the country as speculation about the future of his leadership continues. We also compare where the polls stand, 16 months out from the next election, to where polls stood at this point in the calendar before the 2015, 2019 and 2021 campaigns.THE NUMBERS: On this week's episode of The Numbers podcast, available for Patreon members here, we discuss the set of polls that suggest (as expected) that the Liberals are not in the midst of a comeback — quite the opposite. We also make our over/under bets on Monday's Toronto–St. Paul's byelection. Will the Conservatives pull off an upset? Then, we chat about the results of the Tuxedo byelection in Manitoba and a new poll out of British Columbia. We answer questions from the mailbag (could we be replaced by AI?) and Philippe has a tough quiz for me.In addition to listening to this episode of The Writ Podcast in your inbox, at TheWrit.ca or on podcast apps like Apple Podcasts, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.

On this episode of The Numbers, we discuss some BIG numbers that Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives are putting up in both national polls and first-quarter fundraising. What does this mean for Justin Trudeau? Plus, we chat about an odd poll out of British Columbia ahead of that province's fall election.In our mailbag, we answer a question on Poilievre and the PPC vote, and Philippe takes no pity on me in my weakened state in this week's edition of The Quiz.To join the Discord page for The Numbers, get early access to episodes every Thursday, an extended mailbag segment and bonus episodes every second week, you can become a member of our Patreon site here.A regular episode of The Writ Podcast will be back in this feed next week!As always, in addition to listening to the episode in your inbox or at TheWrit.ca, you can also watch this episode on YouTube.You can also find The Numbers and our French-language podcast Les chiffres wherever you get your podcasts!Apple Podcasts: The Numbers / Les chiffresSpotify: The Numbers / Les chiffresLES CHIFFRES: Québec solidaire en désarroi Éric et Philippe discutent des plus récents sondages au Québec, de l'avance du Parti québécois et des appuis au PLQ chez les communautés anglophones et allophones au Québec. De plus, nous analysons la démission de la co-porte-parole de Québec solidaire, Émilise Lessard-Therrien. Est-ce que Québec solidaire devra effectuer des réformes à l'interne pour espérer une croissance de ses appuis ? Les membres de QS accepteront-ils des tels changements ? Nous discutons ensuite des plus récents sondages fédéraux qui nous indiquent que l'écart entre les libéraux et conservateurs semble se creuser davantage.
