The Numbers: Are Carney and Poilievre a boost or a drag on their parties?
Let's nerd out on the latest federal, provincial and municipal polls.
Mark Carney seems to be more popular than his Liberals, while Pierre Poilievre seems to be less popular than his Conservatives. Are these numbers sustainable for either party leader — and what would it mean if these numbers held going into an election campaign?
Plus, what to make of the NDP’s better polls as the party’s leadership campaign takes off?
This week on The Numbers, we discuss the latest in federal polling trends. We also chat about the ongoing (but still unpolled) campaign in Newfoundland and Labrador, some surprising polling numbers out of Alberta and some less surprising numbers out of municipal races in Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal and Quebec City (a well as in Ontario).
Then, Philippe is back with a new edition of The Quiz.
