Also the 2024 election. Also the bc provincial election last year. Pretty sure the last federal election polls Also were wrong. Polls are instantly biased by the type of people that answer polls, or the audience that the polls are based on.
The polls were good in the last federal election. It’s just that the Liberals took the question of “who would you vote for if there were an election today?” a little too literally and called a snap election. People didn’t like that and they dropped in the polls immediately because of that bonehead decision. The election result wasn’t a surprise for anyone following the polls.

Almost all of the polls were within the MOE. The polls said it was a toss up, and it was.
The results for both of these were very close to what the polls predicted. Not sure why you felt they were off?
Very true, which is the job of pollsters to adjust for. And, as I’ve said, I think they are pretty good at their jobs.
