[Ottawa – November 19, 2009] – EKOS Research Associates is pleased to announce that, starting today, its highly successful series of weekly polls conducted for exclusive release by the CBC will be moving into a new phase in cooperation with Evan Solomon’s Power and Politics program on the CBC News Network.
Later today, on Power and Politics, Evan will be releasing the results of a survey question suggested by a viewer. We will be reporting on a similar viewer-suggested question every second week on Power and Politics.
The CBC will be selecting the question for each of these surveys, in cooperation with EKOS, from suggestions submitted by its viewers on-line, based on originality of perspective and public relevance. The question will then be reviewed and revised to ensure balance and neutrality in the way it is posed to Canadians.
EKOS will continue to report on the race between the federal parties on alternating weeks. Reporting bi-weekly on vote intention will allow EKOS to augment its sample sizes – already by far the largest of any regularly conducted poll in Canada – allowing even more robust regional samples.
Find the results of these polls each week on www.ekospolitics.com, www.cbc.ca, and, of course, on Power and Politics on the CBC News Network.
