Tories poised for victory in Nova Scotia election
Tim Houston’s Progressive Conservatives on track for a
second term
Toronto, November 25th – In a random
sampling of public opinion taken by The Forum Poll™ among 1,594 Nova Scotia voters ahead of the November
26th provincial election, 47.3% of those who are decided or leaning
are likely to vote for the Progressive Conservatives, 26.6% are likely to vote
for the New Democratic Party, while 22.6% are likely to vote for the Liberal
Party. Voter support is low for the Green party (2.3%) and other parties (1.2%).
PCs set to secure majority, possible supermajority
We project 44 seats for the PC, 8 seats for the NDP, 2
seats for the Liberals, and 1 seat for another party. A party must win at least
28 seats to form a majority government.
“The Progressive Conservatives under Tim Houston are
set for a strong second term,” said Dr. Lorne Bozinoff, President of Forum
Research. “Current projections indicate the PCs are on track to secure the next
majority government – and potentially achieve a supermajority, with a projected
total of 44 seats”
The poll was conducted by Forum Research with the results based on an
interactive voice response telephone survey of 1,594 randomly selected Nova
Scotia residents over the age of 18, 72.9% by cellphone and 27.1% on landlines.
The poll was conducted from November 23-25, 2024. Results based on the total
sample are considered accurate +/- 3.0%, 19 times out of 20. Subsample and
regional results will be less accurate. Margins of error for subsample and
regional results are available at www.forumresearch.com/samplestim.asp.
