338Canada federal update | January 10, 2021

Here is the 338Canada federal projection update for January 10, 2021. We add two polls this week: The Léger / Canadian Press poll released last Tuesday (see full report here) , and the Nanos Research weekly update (paywalled). See all federal polls listed on this page

The Liberals hold the lead nationally with 36 per cent. The LPC remains first in Atlantic Canada by 25 points on average, it leads the Bloc Québécois by an 8-point margin in Québec and is still first on Ontario, 14 points ahead of the Conservatives (all averages).

The Conservatives sit at a national average of 30 per cent, with double-digit leads in the Prairies and in Alberta. In British Columbia, we have a three-way statistical tie between the LPC, CPC, and NDP. 

The NDP stands at 19 per cent nationally on average - three point above its 2019 election results.

Here are the seat projections:

The Liberals sit at the threshold of majority status with an average of 171 seats. The Conservative win 104 seats on average, half of which are in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. The NDP wins 32 and the BQ, 28. 



With current levels of support, the projection gives the Liberals at 53% odds of a majority, 46% of a minority. Odds of a CPC minority victory would be 1% - for that to happen, the polls would have to be wrong at the limit of the confidence intervals in favour of the CPC.


More to come this week.

The Alberta projection was updated this weekend to include the latest Mainstreet/Western Standard poll, which the NDP takes a significant lead over Jason Kenney's UCP. See all the Alberta numbers here.
