Impact and influence

Their polling topics are headlined,[4] and Canada's National Newswatch[5] headlines them.[6]

Canadian TV broadcasters list them as one of their credentialed sources.[7][8]

Controversy

A late 2017 "polling failure" was headlined by Canada's CBC, saying "Mainstreet Research repeatedly said Bill Smith would be elected, but Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi won 3rd term."[9] CBC gave them from election date, October 16, until December 11.

"We missed a lot of these young voters, because they are harder to reach" was one of Mainstreet's statements.
