This survey gauged the opinions of Canadians on the most important general public policy objective and the areas they would like to see made a priority in the upcoming federal budget.

Nanos conducted an RDD dual frame (land- and cell-lines) hybrid telephone and online random survey of 1,045 Canadians, 18 years of age or older, between October 27th and October 30th, 2025, as part of an omnibus survey. The margin of error for this survey is ±3.0 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.

The statistical tabulations including the unweighted and weighted number of interviews can be accessed here.

The research was commissioned by CTV News and was conducted by Nanos Research.
