Good Luck Eric! Looking forward to more continuous coverage. Will the Poll Tracker eventually shift to this platform?

Thanks! No, the Poll Tracker will stay where it is, I'll be updating it for the CBC through to election day (whenever that is!).

Good to know! But in the long-term, will you be shifting polling aggregations to the Writ post 44? I need you for Ontario 2022!

Ha, no, I'm going to take a different approach. So, not polling aggregation but more of a look at the seat landscape beyond just the polls.

Great! Even better!

I'm looking forward to the new site and the new approach. If you are sending out "notifications" a request could you set it for about 4 or 5am. I use to enjoy reading your blogs in the morning and would like to add you back into my routine.

Congratulations on the launch Éric. What you’ve outlined for this website is great and will be very appealing to those of us who live and breathe all things elections and polling.

I also want to commend you - and am looking forward to see - how you incorporate different things beyond polling aggregation. That definitely had value but I also think it’s great you will move past that to other avenues.

Best of luck!

So pleased to see that you launched this Éric - I have signed up as a paid member, well done. Your analysis has always been very salient, and grounded in reality.

Eric, pleased to support entrepreneurial and independent journalism as a founding member. While I expect to learn a lot from The Writ, I thought I would ask if you have published your intentions on accepting work from political organizations or supporting parties or candidates? Bonne chance!

Hi Brian, thanks!

To answer your question, I will not accept any work for or from any political organization and will always take a non-partisan approach in my coverage. I won't be endorsing any party or candidate, or getting directly involved in politics in any way.

I will just observe and comment from the sidelines!

Hey Eric! I remember stumbling across ThreeHundredEight in 2009, when I was 17. Your work was incredibly influential towards developing my interests in poll aggregation and analysis. I've following your work at CBC over the years, and I'm excited to see what the future has in store, even if it's a bit different than your work in the past. In fact, I'm optimistic this will be a change for the better.

This project is very cool, Eric. I was a fan of yours during your time with the CBC. I'm a junkie too so I'm happy to have 'The Writ' as my fix. Wishing you the best. Teri
