Is It Summer Yet? New Polls From Léger/CP and Ipsos/Global News

Two new polls this morning (which bring this week's total to six!) from Léger/The Canadian Press and Ipsos/Global News.

Without going into the regional details (it'll come soon), let's take a look at the overall numbers from each.

First, Ipsos/Global News has the Conservatives 6 points ahead of the Liberals:

It is strange that Ipsos still does not include the Green Party in its polls. In The Global News article, they justify this decision as such:

"We have found that, historically, prompting the Green Party as a response option in online polls tends to exaggerate their level of support,” said Sean Simpson, vice president of Ipsos Public Affairs.
"This is because the Green Party will often be chosen by poll respondents who either don’t like any of the other options and are looking for a protest response and/or won’t actually vote on election day." - Global News, June 14th 2019


Secondly, Léger/CP released its own numbers and they also measured a tightening Conservative lead:




The regional numbers from Léger are similar to Angus Reid earlier this week, but there are still major disagreement among the flurry of polls published this week.

More on this on Sunday with a full 338Canada federal update. Expect the overall uncertainty to significantly increase.
