I'm not one to believe the accuracy of the polls, we've seen to many inaccurate results. But if I had to make a bet, I believe the real numbers are far more dire for the NDP.

Notley’s approval rating has been in a free fall since the May election, dropping from more than 60 per cent to 36 per cent this week. She still has 44 per cent support in Edmonton, but only 22 per cent in Calgary and 17 per cent in the rest of Alberta.
She still has strong backing from her party with 77 per cent of NDP supporters strongly approving of her leadership (and another 21 per cent somewhat support her) but Notley’s overall disapproval rate among all Albertans is higher than her approval rate — 57 per cent to 36 per cent — for the first time/QUOTE]
The most interesting question is if this free fall continues, and especially Notley's approval rating, do the NDP panic and fire her in the year leading up to the election.
Lets be honest, she wasn't exactly a tremendously strong candidate or debater, but she ran against a really poor slate of leaders.
