Among all voters the Sask Party is getting 46 per cent of the vote while the Sask NDP is at 30 per cent.

“The Saskatchewan Party still holds a big 16 point lead among all voters” said Quito Maggi, President of Mainstreet Research. “Their lead has narrowed to just 8 percentage points in Regina and 3 percentage points in Saskatoon but they lead handily outside urban centres.”

“The Saskatchewan Party is on solid footing on the economy, however, which bodes well for their general election prospects, 51% of Saskatchewanians believe they are the best party for the economy.”

“It will take a lot to take down Brad Wall, even with this recent tightening there is a long way to go. As the election campaign approaches, he remains in the driver’s seat,” finished Maggi.
