Even in NDP-friendly Edmonton, support for Rachel Notley’s party was halved following the March 18 debate, according to a Research Co. poll, said Canseco, though the Opposition party stillSmith’s perceived confidence in front of the cameras and command of policy issues were vital, said the pollster, something that wasn’t sufficiently parried by Notley.
“It worked out for them — they were behind before the debate and ended up winning … it was a missed opportunity for the NDP,” said Canseco. Echoing that sentiment was former Alberta NDP leader and cabinet minister Brian Mason, who decided not to run in the 2019 election.“Smith calmed the Conservative voters who were wavering because of the NDP campaign. That was clearly the UCP strategy, and she executed it well. If the NDP had a strategy for the debate, it was not apparent to me.”Article content
Ultimately, I think the debate marked the turning point. Smith calmed the CONSERVATIVE voters who were wavering because of the NDP campaign. That was clearly the UCP strategy, and she executed it well. If the NDP had a strategy for the debate, it was not apparent to me.Canseco said his exit polls also show policy, as opposed to other factors such as leadership, was a main priority for UCP voters — 48 per cent — than it was for NDP loyalists at 39 per cent.
“It speaks to the ideology of a lot of Albertans, that fiscal conservatism, and it’s much higher than we saw with the PCs in Ontario,” he said.The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.4 per cent 19 times out of 20.
