Overall polling miss in Newfoundland and Labrador! MQO performed the best with the lowest average error and had both PCs and Liberals within their margin of error, while Cardinal had the PCs in theirs and are just shy of the Liberals MQO got the closest to the Liberal vote share Cardinal got the closest to the PC and NDP vote shares



When I plug in the latest MQO Research Newfoundland & Labrador poll PC is up by 2 seats. The upcoming NL election is going to be very competitive


I am here attending the CRIC conference tomorrow btw

Following the 2025 federal election, members of our coast-to-coast team gathered with @BSommerhalder, CEO of MQO Research, to dig deep into the interesting details and underlying data associated with the election results. ▶️ Watch here: youtu.be/slhkvejCv4c?si… 🎧 Or listen on Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/10bBjx… 🎧 Or on Apple Podcasts: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pos…




An eventful #elxn45 night! This was a story of CPC overperforming our projection and NDP underperforming it (+3.5 / -2.8) -- the difference that made the difference. The avg. error between our projection and the result: ~1.8pts (MoE was 2.1).





Our final #elxn45 vote share projection*: 🔴LPC: 44% | 🔵CPC: 38% | 🟠NDP: 9% | ⚜️BQ: 5% | 🟢GPC: 2% *Among those who already voted or self-rated as 80%+ likely to vote on election day. Full results & interactive data dashboard: mqoresearch.com/canada-federal… (for @GPAinsights)
