EKOS sample sizes are almost 3 times as large as NANOS. EKOS uses an automated system where people can use the telphone key pad to input their preferences. This eliminates interviewer bias. EKOS lists political parties while Nanos asks for voters to pick their top two choices and the pick which one they like.
I prefer EKOS polls over Nanos this election. They are less likely to gyrate significantly and obscure trends because of their absolute size. Tomorrow's Nanos numbers are almost sure to show an NDP decline due to the inordinately large NDP share of the vote night being dropped off of the poll. On the other hand, EKOS numbers are more stable because they survey 1100-1200 per night as opposed to 400.
If the surge is continuing, Nanos may show no change instead. I think the negativity may pushing people towards the NDP. We would need to be much closer to or ahead of the Conservatives in Ontario for the chance of a plurality of seats overall, but at least Ontario looks like it will give us quite a few more seats at the expense of the Liberals. Are there any we could pick up from the Conservatives in Ontario, aside from Essex and maybe Kenora.
