Why the by-election and the general election differ

In a general election, the NDP would lead; in the by-election, the Liberal Party.

Further down, the projection assumes a general election, with every seat voting on the same day. Fewer people vote in a by-election, and the least motivated supporters are the ones who stay home, so the favourite can change.
