As the NDP is set to elect a new leader, we dig into where the party is in the minds of Canadians with some new polling and a look at some historical Abacus polling. Canadians are more likely to see the NDP as trustworthy, competent, and on the side of average people. The foundation is still there. abacusdata.ca/the-polling-st…

Albertans are frustrated with healthcare, but they deeply trust paramedics. 67% give them high trust scores, 73% want them playing a bigger role, and 81% would personally accept care from one if a doctor isn’t available. More about the survey conducted for the Alberta Paramedic Association: abacusdata.ca/73-percent-com…

The message from Alberta is clear: healthcare feels under strain, but paramedics are trusted and seen as capable professionals. Expanding their role looks practical, safe, and aligned with where public opinion stands today. More about the survey conducted for the Alberta Paramedic Association: abacusdata.ca/73-percent-com…

🆕 Abacus Alberta Poll: 73% comfortable with paramedics playing greater role in healthcare. #abpoli @abacusdataca @DavidColetto abacusdata.ca/73-percent-com…

Our latest Alberta poll finds the UCP at 49% and the NDP at 36% among committed voters. The UCP’s lead is driven by overwhelming strength outside Edmonton and Calgary. But healthcare is emerging as a key vulnerability for the government. Details: abacusdata.ca/alberta-poll-u…

Most Albertans oppose independence (64%), and only 1 in 4 support it. Still, 53% say they believe Premier Danielle Smith would vote to leave Canada in a referendum. That belief extends well beyond independence supporters. #ableg Details: abacusdata.ca/alberta-indepe…

Provincial politics: vote, leader approval, issue performance 3. Federal politics: vote, leader approval, and fed gov't approval
