One of the final polls before election day says a new government is inevitable. Mainstreet Technologies spoke to about 3,143 Albertans and says the NDP is leading in almost every region in the province. Forty-four per cent of those surveyed are voting NDP, 26 per cent are going Wildrose and 21 per cent support the PCs. Mainstreet says it all started with a unpopular budget followed by an early election call.
“The plan to campaign on a budget that an overwhelming majority of the population disliked at a time that an overwhelming majority of the population did not want, has been a disaster for Jim Prentice,” states Mainstreet Technologies President Quito Maggi.
Analysts say a dynasty will come to an end on Tuesday.
“We know from our previous polling that over 75% of Albertans wanted a change in government and they will get it. Few Albertans believed there was a viable alternative to the PCs as a government. While Brian Jean did his very best to prove most Albertans right during the leaders debate, Rachel Notley demonstrated that she was that viable alternative.”
The poll carries a margin of error of +/- 1.85%, 19/20.
