Political geography

The Liberals were strong throughout this riding, but had their strongest support in Westmount. In the 2008 election, the NDP saw their second-strongest result on the island in this riding. Much of their support was concentrated in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, where they won a handful of polls.
