Welcome to Nik on the Numbers
Nik on the Numbers is about polling, politics and public policy in Canada and is an open dialogue space for me to post the latest Nanos polls and for you to comment on those results and our political landscape. In this dialogue space, stats, analysis and the views of Canadians intersect.
Follow the latest interviews and research polls from Nik.
Ask me a question - post a comment - rate and comment on the views of others (don’t be shy…but please remain respectful) .
To share your views and post comment you will need to register. We do not need any unique information but generally want to know your province, age, gender (you know - the things all pollsters need to know). We are asking for this information to understand the profile of our community at Nik on the Numbers. This is more than a regular blog - it uses our new research dialogue software.
If you have any questions or comments post them in the dialogue space or send me an email at nnanos@nanosresearch.com.
Cheers,
Nik

The latest research indicates that there is no post-Olympic, post-Throne Speech or budget bounce for the Conservatives. In terms of the Olympics, it’s unlikely that Canadians associated positive national sentiment toward the Olympics with the Conservative government. Likewise, the “stay the course” budget had little in it to break the deadlock between the Conservatives and the Liberals. (34.7% for Conservatives and 34.6% for Liberals).

A post federal budget poll conducted by Nanos Research indicates that the budget is unlikely to have a significant impact on the current political situation nationally. The polling suggests that there is only a marginally positive view of the government’s economic policies and that Canadians were divided on the budget’s direction.

Asked about a series of priorities, Canadians were comparatively more concerned about the job creation (38.4%), debt reduction (21.1%) and even tax relief (15.5%) than they were about strengthening pensions (12.5%). But, the dark cloud on the horizon is their worry about whether pension money is going to be there when they need it.

In order to better understand the perceived power relationships between different institutions, Nanos Research asked Canadians to share their views as to whether individual institutions in our democracy had too much power, the right amount of power or not enough power.

Although Canadians are split on their impressions of political groups organizing themselves on Facebook, they are more likely to agree that political Facebook groups should have little or no influence on government. The key takeaway is that observers should delineate between the ability of Facebook to politically mobilize and its true political heft.
