Polls
23 January 2018 (Ottawa, ON) – The Saskatchewan Party maintain a 20-point plus lead over the NDP, leaving the Saskatchewan electoral picture looking very much the same as it did in November.
Those are the findings from Mainstreet Research’s latest UltraPoll, a conglomeration of ten provincial polls. The poll surveyed 830 Saskatchewans between January 14th and 15th 2019. The poll has a margin of error of +/- 3.4% and is accurate 19 times out of 20.
“The Sask Party remain firmly in control,” said Joseph Angolano, Vice President of Mainstreet Research. “Much like our last poll in November, the Sask Party lead the NDP in both Saskatoon and Regina as well as the interior of Saskatchewan.”
“Given that sentiment against the carbon tax is so high in Saskatchewan, it is no surprise that Premier Moe and his criticisms of the federal Liberal plan is translating into strong support for the Sask Party.”
Among decided and leaning voters, the Saskatchewan Party led by Scott Moe has 55.8% (-0.7% since Mainstreet’s November 2018 poll), while the NDP with Ryan Meili at the helm has 32.6% (+2.3%). The Liberals with Naveed Anwar have 5.9% (-0.9%), while Shawn Setyo and the Green Party have 2.4% (-1.8%).
“The silver lining for the NDP is that they were only party to post a gain from November,” continued Angolano.
The survey also asked Saskatchewan voters if they had a favourable view of all four party leaders.
“Premier Moe has a very strong net rating of +19.1%”, continued Angolano. “Meili’s net rating on the other hand is -4.5%.”
“While there is a big gap between Moe’s and Meili’s favourability rating, Meili’s ratings have been steadily improving since August.”
