The Liberals and Conservatives have been neck-and-neck and trading leads over the past year when it comes to ballot support. But what does it look like when you project their current ballot support to actual seats in the House of Commons? 

More simply, if an election were to be held today, who’d win?

Pollster Nik Nanos and Trend Line host Michael Stittle discuss Nanos’ latest seat projections, as well as an election that’s actually around the corner, in Alberta, where Premier Danielle Smith is hoping to get a strong mandate for her United Conservative Party. How does the nature of her relationship with the federal Liberals help, or hurt, her cause?

Finally, Nik and Michael take the economic pulse of the nation. When it comes to how worried people are about being able to pay their mortgage or the rent, a recent Nanos survey shows an interesting and troubling trend emerging in not just how many are concerned, but who’s concerned.
