The Pollcast: Your election questions answered

On the latest episode of The Pollcast, we try to answer some of your questions ahead of the October federal election.

With 2 months to go, there are lots of unknowns ahead of the October vote

There are now officially less than two months to go before the Oct. 21 federal election. The polls show the Conservatives and Liberals neck-and-neck, the New Democrats struggling and the Greens making inroads.

But two months can be an eternity in politics — and there are lots of questions about how the next nine weeks might unfold.

What effect is the ethics commissioner's report on the SNC-Lavalin affair having on Liberal support? Which cabinet ministers are in danger of being defeated? Have the Greens hit a ceiling in their national support?

And which leaders face the highest risk of losing their own seats?

To try to answer these questions and more on The Pollcast, podcast host and CBC polls analyst Éric Grenier is joined by the CBC's John Paul Tasker and Elise von Scheel.
