The story
Allan Gregg, the head of the firm, left Decima in 1994 and went into semi-retirement following the electoral disaster for the Progressive Conservatives in the 1993 election. Decima conducts polling of the federal political scene in Canada on a regular basis, whether or not an election campaign is in progress.
Decima Research's field work was conducted by Opinion Search, a call centre.
