Move provides in-depth news, polling coverage
TORONTO, Ontario (October 15, 2021) – Torstar Corporation is announcing that Mainstreet Research, a premier public opinion and research company, has become an equity partner with iPolitics, a leading Ottawa-based digital news outlet.
Under the partnership, Mainstreet Research is working with iPolitics to provide top-level political and public policy coverage of federal and provincial affairs, including future elections.
Founded in 2010, Mainstreet Research has an impressive track record in accurately predicting election results at the national, provincial and municipal levels and has earned a reputation as a trusted source for comprehensive market research, analysis and advice.
iPolitics is a non-partisan media organization that provides its subscribers with breaking news, podcasts and in-depth policy analysis of federal and provincial politics, regulatory affairs and key industries. Torstar, through one of its subsidiaries, purchased iPolitics in 2018.
During the recent federal election, in conjunction with Mainstreet Research, iPolitics launched the Electionometer, a best-in-class polling dashboard for Election 2021. The innovative dashboard fundamentally changed the way in which polling and election results were covered in Canada, providing subscribers the opportunity to see polling activity and results happening in real time.
