April 29th, 2016: “Of those who said they had voted in the 2015 federal election, 65 per cent[of Muslim Canadians] reported voting for the Liberals, with 10 per cent saying they voted for the New Democrats and two per cent for the Conservatives.”

The poll samples the political opinions of 2,450 Canadian adults, and includes 1,006 who identified as Muslims, Hindus, Jews and Sikhs.
