I want to congratulate the opollsters and their staff for all of their hard work and their results. Collectively the industry was corr
And of course, I am happy to say that Mainstreet was the most accurate when you compare our resulthe final numbers for the Conservatives, Liberals and NDP."
Mainstreet submitted final numbers to Postmedia and Polling Aggregator threehundredeight.com

They were:Liberals - 39.0 (Actual: 39.5%)Conservatives - 31.9 (Actual: 31.9%)NDP - 20.9 (Actual: 19.7%)
This represents a total variance of 1.7%, with each number within the poll's margin of error. Mainstreet he lowest amount of variance for the three major parties of any pollster.
On October 13th, we predicted a Liberal majority. There were some who did not believe us then, and wtill did not believe us even after Atlantic Canada began reporting results. We did not hedge on
prediction because we believe in our work - we were so sure we even issued a press release re-affirmour public prediction. We look forward to continuing to poll Canadians," finished Maggi.
Mainstreet was the only polling firm to correctly predict a Liberal Majority government.
