Now granted these are online poll numbers, but interesting regardless

Quote:
A post-debate online poll of 615 Albertans who followed Thursday evening's televised contest found Danielle Smith of the Wildrose was seen as the most likable leader (34 per cent) and best able to explain her party's position (30 per cent).

However, PC Leader Alison Redford was viewed as the most competent leader (37 per cent), according to the survey undertaken for the Calgary Herald and Edmonton Journal.

Smith and Redford also topped the field as the most convincing leaders (32 per cent and 28 per cent respectively) and most credible leaders (28 per cent and 29 per cent), far ahead of Liberal Raj Sherman and NDP Leader Brian Mason.

When asked who would make the best premier, based on the leaders' performances in the debate, 34 per cent of respondents picked Redford and 33 per cent selected Smith, while 12 per cent chose Sherman and nine per cent said Mason.

The online Leger poll was taken between April 12 and 13. While the margin of error is not reported in non-random surveys, a probability sample of 615 Albertans would result in a margin of error of about four per cent 19 times out of 20.

So realistically Redford is viewed fairly well, its more her party that is holding her back.
