“After trending upward for some weeks the NDP has slipped back to 28%,” Quito Maggi, President of Mainstreet Research, said.
“While they have improved from the beginning of the year the Saskatchewan Party looks set to easily capture a majority government.”
Maggi added the conversation around the Energy East pipeline is not helping the NDP’s campaign.
“Brad Wall has been assertive on the issues and Quebec’s recently announced court challenge, he looks and acts very much like a statesman for the western interests,” Maggi said.
“Though Cam Broten has expressed support for Energy East, currently the visuals are of Wall at the national table in Vancouver.”
The Mainstreet/Postmedia Poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.45 per cent, 19 times out of 20.
