    ALBERTA PROVINCIAL ELECTION RACE TIGHTENS!

    PRESS RELEASE April 12, 2012


    In last weeks tracking poll done soon after the controversy involving the resignation of a PC staffer, the Wildrose Alliance Party led the PCs by 17 points among decided voters. In this weeks poll, Wildrose has dropped back to a lead of 8 points about where their lead was back on March 26. If a provincial election was held today, the Wildrose Alliance Party would receive 42.8% of popular vote and the PC party would receive 34.4%. The narrowing of the lead for Wildrose, was a result of a decline in Wildrose support by 2.7 points, however, this change is within the margin of error. The main reason for the narrowing of the lead was because of the resurgence in support for the PC party by 6 points as support for the Liberals, NDP and the other party continued to slip. Regionally, Wildroses decline from last week came mostly from Edmonton where the PC Party surged in the poll as the Liberals declined. In Edmonton the PCs now have a significant 22 point lead over the Wildrose party. In Calgary and the Rest of Alberta (ROA) the Wildrose support was similar to a week ago with a lead of about 18 points over the PCs. If an election was held today, Wildrose would receive 49% of the votes in Calgary and the rest of Alberta and only 22% in Edmonton, where the PCs would get 44%. With regard to who would make the best premier, Danielle Smith (Wildrose) crept up again over the past week as Alison Redford remained about the same with Raj Sherman (Liberal), and Brian Mason continuing to slip. Among all voters, Smith has 32.1% support versus Redfords 27.1%. Raj Sherman and Brian Mason (NDP) are well back with less than 8% each. The Wildrose partys healthcare vision contributes to its strength, with 28.1% of all voters (decideds plus undecideds) agreeing that Wildrose has the right vision for healthcare in the province, compared to 17.8% for the PCs, 15.8% for the Liberals, and 6.8% for the NDP.
