Alberta Liberals
New Democrats
PCs
Wildrose

I don't think that's a push poll.

I do agree that it was less of a push than what could be expected (by any party), but basically coming right out and giving a party policy word for word as a choice when asking what's important wasn't exactly neutral either. I didn't notice who the firm was conducting the research, which is also strange. I would bet that this was a poll by a party and not an independent firm; any firm would identify that they are calling from "Ipsos Reid" or wherever if they were.

It was interesting that they asked both which leader you would support and which party given those running candidates in your riding though. Maybe it was even an NDP poll with that in mind.
