Agreed on being skeptical this far out from an election, but there's one particular thing Smith needs to be really worried about in this poll, and that is that she's starting out waaaay behind Notley on the question of who would make the better premier. Even in rural Alberta where The UCP leads the NDP by 16% overall, the difference on the 'better premier' question is within the margin of error. She trails on that question by 15% in Calgary.
And this poll was completed entirely before her introductory press conference with her 'most descriminated against' comments, so there's certainly reason to think it would be lower now than when the poll was taken. |
I have to wonder how much the average UCP voter even really cares about having a good leader especially since they just saw Kenney voted out and a new leader brought it. That has probably established a mindset that it is more important to win a majority than it is to have a good leader because that can be changed somewhat easily.
