The polling industry is still very good in Canada. But elections like this show just how hard it is to poll smaller provinces.

Canadian Elections Tracker @cdnelxnstracker.bsky.social · 1d

Bad night for polling in Newfoundland and Labrador. However, not many pollsters took the risk in a province that is hard to poll, so credit to the pollsters that did put out numbers and took the chance.
