So the Herald says one thing, and global and the edm sun say another. I guess we should likely throw out all your polls?

Ummm, you're using the populated by Sun readers poll that says 63% want spending cuts. From the article (paragraph 3)...

Roughly 79% of Albertans surveyed said that balancing the budget by cutting funding to programs and services is not acceptable while 59% found raising taxes to be somewhat or very acceptable. Albertans were split on borrowing, with 52% saying its somewhat or very acceptable and 48% saying it's not very or not at all acceptable.

So yeah, the scientific poll obviously carries substantially more weight than a poll on a Sun website.
