The narrowed five-point gap between the Liberals and the Conservatives continues as voting day looms less than three weeks away. Compared to three days ago, the Liberals are down three points and the Conservatives up three in popular support. The Liberals have an advantage in four of five regions but the gap with the Conservatives has been closing over the past week. The Conservative heartland in the Prairies remains strong. The New Democrats remain mired at eight percentage points, which remains at their 25 year 2000 federal election low. British Columbia remains the best NDP region where support stands at 18 percent. (Three day tracking ending April 7, 2025)

The CTV-Globe and Mail/Nanos nightly federal election tracking conducted by Nanos Research surveys 1,200 Canadians aged 18 years and over three days (400 interviews each day). Respondents are all randomly recruited through a dual-frame (cell- and land-line) RDD sample using live agents. Three quarters of the sample are administered the questionnaire by telephone and one quarter is administered the same questionnaire online. The random sample may be weighted by age and gender according to the latest Canadian census data. Throughout the election, the interviews are compiled into a three-night rolling average of 1,200 interviews, with the oldest group of 400 interviews being replaced by a new group of 400 each evening. The current data covers the three-night period ending April 7, 2025.
A random survey of 1,256 Canadians is accurate ±2.8 percentage points, plus or minus, 19 times out of 20.
