About this Abacus Data federal poll


This federal poll was fielded by Abacus Data in September 2020, with a middle field date of September 1, 2020. The poll collected data from a total sample of n=2,289 Canadian respondents via an online panel.

The margin of error for an online sample is not applicable. For comparison purposes, a random sample of this size would yield a margin of error [moe] of ±2.0%, 19 times out of 20 (for entire sample only) around the 50%-mark.

If we compare these national numbers with the previous poll from Abacus Data (August 2020), the Liberal Party loses three points from 36% to 33%, the Conservative Party is up one point (variation smaller than moe), and the New Democratic Party remains stable at 18%.
