NDP rising in provincial popularity: poll
Prince Albert’s New Democrat MLA is welcoming a new public opinion poll showing her party is rising in popularity.
The latest Angus Reid Institute poll shows if an election was held tomorrow, 41 per cent would vote for the NDP while 48 per cent would support the governing SaskParty. Polls in Regina and Saskatoon show majority support for the NDP with both in the 50 per cent margin.
The rest of Saskatchewan, which includes Prince Albert, sits at 31 per cent in favour of the NDP and 58 per cent for the SaskParty. paNOW reached out to the national pollster for more detailed P.A. and region numbers, but was told Angus Reid didn’t have more specific data.
MLA Nicole Rancourt (NDP, Prince Albert-Northcote) said the poll shows Saskatchewan residents aren’t pleased with the current government.
