Canadian pollsters were eager to publish their pre-Throne speech numbers last week, as we had a poll-a-palooza on Tuesday and Wednesday morning with six federal polls (which are all listed here). We have yet to see post-Throne Speech polls, but Mainstreet Research President Quito Maggi hinted his newest federal poll would be out on Monday.
Here are this week's 338Canada popular vote projections:
The Liberals remain in the lead nationally with an average of 36 per cent. The Conservatives are within range at 32 per cent, but (as you will read below) are still disadvantaged by poor vote efficiency.
Didn’t make the publication deadline, it’ll be out Monday

Here are this week's 338Canada popular vote projections:
The Liberals remain in the lead nationally with an average of 36 per cent. The Conservatives are within range at 32 per cent, but (as you will read below) are still disadvantaged by poor vote efficiency.
In Atlantic Canada, the Liberals lead the Conservatives by 20 points;
In Quebec, we measure a tight race between the Liberals and the Bloc Québécois, although the LPC currently holds a 6-point lead over the BQ. The Conservatives (17%) and NDP (11%) are far behind in the province.
In Ontario, the Conservatives trail the Liberals by seven points on average (33%-40%), which is modestly closer than the 2019 election results, but not nearly enough for the CPC to rival the Liberals nationally.
In the Prairies and Alberta, the Conservatives lead by significant margins outside of Winnipeg and northern Manitoba.
In British Columbia, as is often the case, the numbers have been all over the place. The Liberals still hold a tenuous 4-point lead on average, but the uncertainty remains high. Ipsos had a three-way race in the province with the NDP leading the pack, so who knows at this point. British Columbians are also in the midst of a provincial election right now, so the federal horse race may not be top on their minds.

This week: more British Columbia updates, U.S. Presidential updates before and after Tuesday's first debate between Trump and Biden.
And who knows, maybe a Saskatchewan update? General election in SK on October 24.
Poor Saskatchewan was supposed to get ALL the attention this fall. #bcpoli
