And the day before there was this one:

Alberta’s Conservative majority remains solid, but the rookie Wildrose Alliance Party appears poised to take Official Opposition status in an upcoming spring vote, according to a poll commissioned by the National Post.
The four-year-old Wildrose won its first MLA in a 2009 byelection — and gained three more as members defected from the Progressive Conservatives. With 29% support (up from 23% in December), if Wildrose can maintain its popularity until the provincial election — expected to take place in April — it is projected to win 17 seats.
The Progressive Conservatives are projected to take 57 seats, down from a current 72.
Forum Research president Lorne Bozinoff lays credit for Wildrose’s increase in popularity with leader Danielle Smith, a former Calgary Herald columnist who took the party leadership in October 2009. The 40-year-old leader enjoys 40% support among Albertans, compared with 39% for Premier Alison Redford.
As Alison Redford said "only one poll that matters".... on this I agree with her...
