The reigning PCs are falling behind in the latest poll results. Mainstreet Technologies surveyed 3,016 Albertans, who put the Wildrose in first with 29 per cent support.
“Wildrose has managed to increase their support and lead among undecided leaning voters, but have the softest support with a quarter of supporters indicating they might change their vote before election day. PC Alberta increased their support for the first time since the election was called but trail in almost all other categories,” states Quito Maggi, president of Mainstreet Technologies.
The NDP trails at 26 per cent, and PCs dropped to 20 per cent. The Liberals have flatlined at 4 per cent while the Alberta Party has 3 per cent support. For those surveyed, 19 per cent were undecided.
“The undecided vote has dropped below 20% which means there is now a very narrow window of opportunity for all parties to convince voters. The importance of the leaders debate on Thursday is now heightened and is both a big opportunity and a great risk for all parties. The winner of the debate on Thursday could very well be the determining factor in who is Premier on May 5th,” said Maggi.
The poll has a margin of error of + or – 1.78 per cent.
