Where the polls stand

Every provincial poll since the 2023 election, each corrected for its firm's lean against the others, then averaged by recency and sample size.

UCP and NDP, too close to call

The average on Nov 2, 2026: UCP 45.2% · NDP 44.6% · Progressive Tory 4.1%

The weighted average since September 2023, with the uncertainty around it. Where two bands overlap, the order of those two parties is not established.
