Oh, sure it can. Stelmach got as low as 14% at a time when there was no effective opposition at all. Personal popularity of a party leader doesn't necessarily correlate to support of that party.
Also,
Maclean's offers a
good take on the Ezra Levant issue. Particularly on how Notley brilliantly turned Levant into a martyr.
Of interest...

The “no webbies” defence by Oates was even more unseemly in the age of not only Vice, Buzzfeed and Huffington Post, but also Green Energy Futures. You haven’t heard of Green Energy Futures either? It’s a web production of environmental think-tank Pembina Institute, co-sponsored by oil companies Shell and Suncor, to share multi-media stories abut the “clean energy revolution that’s already under way.” A freelancer for Green Energy Futures joined the embargoed media briefing in November for the Alberta climate change panel and response plan. The term “reporter” doesn’t show up on its About Us page, either.

It is both interesting and unsurprising to note that Notley allowed a non-media outlet that happens to be affiliated with the anti-Alberta Pembina Institute into a media lock-up.
