Washington, D.C., September 23, 2026 – A new University of Calgary/Ipsos poll conducted July 9-15, 2026, explores how Colorado residents view the relationship between the U.S. and Canada, including levels of support for U.S. tariffs on Canada, shared challenges among Coloradan and Canadians, and perceptions of the U.S.’ future relationship with Canada.
About the Study
This University of Calgary/Ipsos poll was conducted July 9-15, 2026, by Ipsos using the probability-based KnowledgePanel®. This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 559 Colorado residents aged 18 or older.
The study was conducted in English. The data were weighted to adjust for gender by age, race and ethnicity, metropolitan status, education, household income, and 2024 vote choice. The demographic benchmarks came from the 2025 March supplement of the U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey (CPS).
- Gender (Male, Female) by Age (18–44, 45-59 and 60+)
- Race/Hispanic Ethnicity (White Non-Hispanic, Non-Hispanic Black or Hispanic, Non-Hispanic Other or 2+ Races)
- Metropolitan status (Metro, non-Metro)
- Education (High School or less, Some College, Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree or above)
- Household Income (Under $25,000, $25,000-$49,999, $50,000-$74,999, $75,000-$99,999, $100,000-$149,999, $150,000+)
- 2024 Presidential Vote Choice (Voted for Harris, Voted for Trump, Voted for someone else or Did not Vote)
The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 6.7 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample of adults. The margin of sampling error takes into account the design effect, which was 2.57. The margin of sampling error is higher and varies for results based on sub-samples. In our reporting of the findings, percentage points are rounded off to the nearest whole number. As a result, percentages in a given table column may total slightly higher or lower than 100%. In questions that permit multiple responses, columns may total substantially more than 100%, depending on the number of different responses offered by each respondent.
