About this Abacus Data federal poll


This federal poll was fielded by Abacus Data in April 2026, with a middle field date of April 19, 2026. The poll collected data from a total sample of n=2,000 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 ±2.2%, 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 (April 2026), the Liberal Party is up one point (variation smaller than moe), the Conservative Party loses two points from 38% to 36% (variation similar to moe), and the New Democratic Party remains stable at 8%.
