However, for comparative purposes, a probability sample of 1,512 respondents would have a margin of error of ±2 .51%, 19 times out of 20. |  |\n| |  | WEIGHTING | Results were weighted according to age, gender, mother tongue, region, education and presence of children in the household in order to ensure a representative sample of the Canadian and American population. |  |\n| | SIGNIFICANT\u003Cbr>DIFFERENCES |  | In this report, data in bold red characters indicate a significantly lower proportion than that of other respondents. Conversely, data in bold green characters indicate a significantly higher proportion that that of other respondents. |  |\n| | ROUNDED DATA |  | The numbers presented have been rounded up. However, the numbers before rounding were used to calculate the sums presented and might therefore not correspond to the manual addition of these numbers. |  |\n| | QUESTIONS? |  | If you have questions about the data presented in this report, please contact Christian Bourque, |  |\n|  |  |  | Executive Vice-President at the following e-mail addresses:\u003Cbr>[cbourque@leger360.com](cbourque@leger360.com)\u003Cbr>A more detailed methodology is presented in the Appendix. | 2 |\n\nMETHODOLOGICAL APPROACH  \nMETHODOLOGY  \nLeger is the polling firm that has presented the most accurate election survey data, on average, over the last ten years in Canada. During the last federal election in 2021, Leger was once again the most accurate firmin the country. This accuracy is attributed to the quality of the LEO panel and rigorous application of methodological rules by Leger's 600 employees, including 200 professionals in Leger's eight offices across Canada (Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver) and in the United States (New York) .  \nPoll aggregator 338Canada.com gave Leger the highest rating among all polling firms in Canada for the accuracy of its studies.
