I would suspect that people paying attention are deciding whether or not Kenny being incompetent or complicit in a scheme to funnel illegal donations to an election campaign is disqualifying or not. Once it is if you don’t like the status quo you are left with the Alberta Party.
It also reflects CPs genral stance of fiscal conservativism and social liberalism. Kenny’s historical social stances are likely more disqualifying in the CP sample then the outside world.
So CP shares the same Not NDP stance as the rest of the province but their is less stomach for voting for Kenny.
Also we have had stronger historical 3rd party support then the general polling.
