And the winner is...

So, which pollster had it right?

I recorded the last polls of the election here.

Here they are compared to the results.

Source	Liberal	PC	NDP	Green	Dates	Details
RESULTS	37.6%	35.4%	22.7%	2.9%	Oct 6	THE ELECTION!
Angus Reid	33%	36%	26%	5%	Oct 2-4	Online; Sample: 2223; 2.1% 19/20
Ipsos-Reid	41%	31%	25%		Sep 30-Oct3	Sample 1020; 3.1% 19/20
Abacus	37%	34%	24%	4%	Oct 3-4	Sample 1001; 3.1% 19/20

Abacus has the best call, perhaps because their sample was concentrated closest to election day.

The huge Forum Research Poll, also under that link, didn't report percentages, but did make a seat call of 45/45/17, which was damn close, and nailed the NDP count. Given that that poll Forum conducted the poll over the weekend, days away from the election, the reason for the discrepancy is clear.

Ipsos-Reid was way off, but also was working with the oldest data, and a smaller data set sprawled over many days.

For those who don't know, the final count was 53/37/17, the largest minority possible.
