About inFocus with David Coletto

For the past 15 years, I’ve built one of Canada’s leading polling and public opinion research firms: Abacus Data. And in that time, my team and I interviewed hundreds of thousands of Canadians and hosted focus groups across the country. This podcast will feature conversations with smart, curious, and interesting people who love politics, public policy, and figuring out what makes people think and act the way they do. If you work in polling or market research, public affairs, public relations, government relations, advocacy, or in communications – this podcast is for you.

David also explores diverging leader impressions, with Mark Carney holding steady while Pierre Poilievre’s negatives rise.You can access the full poll results here.
