Our latest #cdnpoli tracking poll in a nutshell abacusdata.ca/federal-lib...

Affordability is still the dominant issue in Canadian politics. But in our latest tracking poll, the Liberals remain competitive among voters who rank cost of living and the economy as top concerns. That’s why the race remains stuck in place. abacusdata.ca/federal-lib...

Canadians remain divided about the direction of the country, but far less pessimistic about Canada than they are about the world or the United States. That stability continues to shape the federal political environment. More from our latest Abacus Data poll: abacusdata.ca/federal-lib...

The federal race remains remarkably stable. Liberals lead by 8 nationally, government approval is still positive, and Carney continues to hold a clear personal advantage over Poilievre. Our latest Abacus Data tracking poll: abacusdata.ca/federal-lib...

Both governments started in roughly the same place. By month 15, they'd diverged. Carney: +24 and recovering after a dip in the fall and a surge post-Davos. Trudeau: +16 and starting a slide that never reversed. Net government approval, compared month by month in office from ABACUS DATA #cdnpoli

Love of country and dissatisfaction with the status quo aren't opposites. Our latest Abacus Data poll finds Canadians are increasingly proud of Canada while remaining deeply concerned about affordability, opportunity, and where the country is headed. abacusdata.ca/canadians-a...

Here's an interesting finding: 22% of Canadians say they feel both pride and concern when they think about Canada. Not pride or concern—both. That may be the best way to describe the country's mood today. abacusdata.ca/canadians-a...

Pride isn't about believing your country is perfect. It's about believing it's worth caring about. Our latest polling finds Canadians are more proud of their country than they were a year ago, even as concerns about the future remain. abacusdata.ca/canadians-a...

What are Canadians proud of? Our latest poll points to nature, peace, universal healthcare, tolerance, and increasingly, Canada's independence and distinct identity. New results just ahead of Canada Day: abacusdata.ca/canadians-a...

Canadians can hold two thoughts at once: "I love this country" and "We need to do better." That's the story in our latest poll. Pride is climbing, but so are concerns about affordability, opportunity, and Canada's future. abacusdata.ca/canadians-a...

The biggest increase in Canadian pride isn't among seniors—it's among younger and middle-aged Canadians. Even those feeling the most economic pressure are expressing a stronger attachment to the country. abacusdata.ca/canadians-a...

Canada doesn't have one dominant story right now. Some see opportunity. Others see uncertainty. Yet across those differences, pride in being Canadian has grown substantially over the past two years. Our latest polling: abacusdata.ca/canadians-a...
