🍁Happy Sunday, dear 338Canada readers,

We haven’t paid nearly as much attention to federal polling numbers in recent months as we normally would. Between general elections in Quebec and British Columbia, not to mention Alberta’s referendum on separation, we’ve had our hands full.

But here we are, just days after the latest federal budget, waiting to see whether Canadians were paying attention—or whether they cared at all.

Perhaps the budget was overshadowed by the results of the 2026 U.S. midterm elections south of the border. We recently explored what Canadians were hoping for in those elections, and boy, did they largely get their wish. You can revisit that analysis here.

In the meantime, let’s catch up on the latest federal polling numbers and update the 338Canada projections.

Welcome (back) to the 338 Sunday Update.

🍁338Canada = Canadian politics by the numbers.
