The Numbers: Do the polls make sense?
Wild numbers, some discomfort, and three more weeks to go.
While the consensus in the polls pretty clearly points to an advantage for Mark Carney’s Liberals over Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives, what should we make of those individual surveys that show the race to be far closer — perhaps even tied?
And how should we interpret the polls that show the Liberals surging in regions they haven’t won in decades?
In this episode of The Numbers, Eric and Philippe try to make some sense of the numbers. We also look at some polls from Léger that have surprising regional breakdowns of support within Ontario and British Columbia.
