The most recent poll from Mainstreet/Postmedia suggests that the Sask. Party is on cruise control for a victory in Monday’s provincial election.
The poll suggests that the NDP had problems making gains during the first few weeks because they were having to get rid of a few candidates and their campaign manager, and afterwards a shouty debate match didn’t do much to move the needle into the NDPs favour.

“Mr. Broten started this campaign by putting out fires. Burnt by social media he headed into a must-win debate which need to be a game-changer – it wasn‘t,” Quito Maggi, president of Mainstreet Research, said.
“The NDP may be able to pull off some upsets in urban centres but it will take local candidates far out-running the party brand with some of the best campaign talent on the ground.”

Among the voters the Sask. Party is getting 54 per cent of the vote while the Sask NDP is at 28 per cent of the vote.
“Brad Wall is on track to win a new majority government,” Maggi said.
“The Saskatchewan Party has support across all regions. 91% of Saskatchewan supporters say they are strong supporters who will not change their minds. It’s over.”
The Mainstreet/Postmedia Poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.45%, 19 times out of 20.
