COMMENTARY: How to make sense of the opinion polls during the 2025 Canadian election
Caution must be used when interpreting opinion polls during the election. They’re not all created equal. Dismissing them outright is as foolish as trusting them blindly.

Stan Greenberg was Bill Clinton's pollster and a good one at that. His comments to Canadian pollster Frank Graves are worth repeating.
Too many people, especially on the left, have a bizarrely elevated view of how voters make choices.
If you actually want to win, listen to Mr. Greenberg.

For the first time since the start of his second term, #Trump hit 50% #disapproval in #VoteHub's #polling #aggregation today. votehub.com/polls/

Presidents have come back from this. #Reagan bottomed out at something like 30% early in his first term, and then of course won re-election in a landslide. But Trump doesn't have that kind of political acumen.

If we have anything resembling a fair #election, 2026 will be a bloodbath, and I'm willing to bet 2028 as well. If we don't, well, it will be a bloodbath of a different kind.

"It is absolutely right to emphasize the importance of respecting #voters, and try to understand them, rather than assuming that those who disagree with you are stupid or racist. But voters are not going to tell you how to #govern the country. It is not their job. Relying on their opinions to try to deduce what to do leads not only to incoherence, but to a negative loop."

Canadians alarmed by text messages asking their vote preference. Then their postal code. Then their name
The Canadian Research Insights Council (CRIC), a polling industry association, has received numerous complaints about these text-message tactics from ERG National Research.

I ran across another appeal from "Cooperate for Canada" to ignore one's political beliefs and instead vote for whoever Fournier thinks is the biggest risk to the CPC candidate.

So I decided to take a deeper look at this group, their concept, and their actions.
