More of a gear grinding but in case anyone wonders about Conservative polling numbers. NEVER TRUST EKOS

Because they made the decision to close the other thread I cannot quote it, but here is the "final" Ekos polling numbers before the Election

To put it in perspective, the head of Ekos is a former Liberal pollster. There has been alot of discourse in this election about the independence of these pollsters. FYI, Ekos is CBC primary polling company.

Wow... one final EKOS poll:

CPC - 33.9%
NDP - 31.2%
LIB - 21.0%
BLQ - 6.4%
GRN - 6.0%

Sample size is 3144, MOE 1.8%

EKOS election prediction:

CPC - 130 to 146 seats
NDP - 103 to 123 seats
LIB - 36 to 46 seats
BLQ - 10 to 20 seats
GRN - 1 seat


To put in perspective CPAC (likely the most unbiased channel we have) uses Nanos Research. Here are its finally polling numbers.



Here are what the final numbers (day after) election were - I guess Ekos margin of error was 6%
