Methodology

This web survey on the economy was conducted from February 14 to 17, 2025, with 1,550 Canadians and 1,001 U.S. residents, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.

A margin of error cannot be associated with a non-probability sample in a panel survey. For comparison purposes, a probability sample of this size yields a margin of error no greater than ±2.49%, (19 times out of 20) for the Canadian sample and ±3.10%, (19 times out of 20) for the American sample.
