Nan
os National Ballot tracking released Oct. 6, 2015
Accessible vote
The NDP's proportion of accessible voters, or the proportion of Canadians that would
consider voting for the party, has dropped by nine percentage points over the last
month.
Voters were asked a series of questions about whether they would consider or not
consider voting for each of the federal parties, to determine each party's proportion of
accessible voters.
That polling found:
50.7 per cent would consider voting for the Liberals
40.9 per cent would consider voting for the NDP
40.5 per cent would consider voting for the Conservatives
23.5 per cent would consider voting Green
The NDP's proportion of accessible voters was 50.2 per cent a month ago, but that
number has since dipped into a statistical tie with the Conservatives. The Liberals
were at 46.5 per cent support a month ago, while the Conservatives have stayed close
to the 38.9 per cent support they had last month.
Poll methodology
A national dual-frame (land and cell) random telephone survey is conducted nightly by
Nanos Research throughout the campaign using live agents. Each evening a new
group of 400 eligible voters are interviewed. The daily tracking figures are based on a
three-day rolling sample composed of 1,200 interviews. To update the tracking a new
day of interviewing is added and the oldest day dropped. The margin of error for a
survey of 1,072 respondents is 3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Harper, Trudeau tied as preferred PM
Conservative Leader Stephen Harper and Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau are tied on
the preferred prime minister measure, according to the latest nightly tracking by Nanos
Research for CTV News and The Globe and Mail.
Survey respondents were asked: "Of the current federal political party leaders, could
you please rank your top two current local preferences for prime minister?"
The latest numbers from Tuesday afternoon show:
31.7 per cent said they preferred Harper
