New Democrats enjoy a marginal advantage among voters on the issue of affordable housing. This advantage is stronger among younger Ontarians as they are twice as likely to trust the NPD on this issue rather than the Liberals or Progressive Conservatives. Twenty-eight per cent trust the NDP most to create an environment where more affordable housing will be built, 23 per cent trust the Progressive Conservative Party most and 19 per cent trust the Liberal Party most on the issue. A further 20 per cent of Ontarians reported being unsure.

The CTV News/Nanos nightly provincial election tracking conducted by Nanos Research surveys 900 Ontarians aged 18 years and over three days (300 interviews each day). Respondents are all randomly recruited through a dual-frame (cell- and land-line) RDD sample using live agents. One half of the sample is administered the questionnaire by telephone and one half are 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 900 interviews, with the oldest group of 300 interviews being replaced by a new group of 300 each evening. The current data covers the three-night period ending February 14, 2025.
A random survey of 925 Ontarians is accurate ±3.2 percentage points, plus or minus, 19 times out of 20.
