Janet Brown Opinion Research conducted a poll in the province for the election which has the UCP leading the Alberta NDP province-wide with 51% support..Rachel Notley’s NDP has 40%.."Brown cautions that this is a result of her model, not a prediction. But she has been bang-on before, most recently in the 2019 election. The real shocker in this poll is the Calgary finding: 51% support for the UCP, and 39% NDP. If that’s the case on May 29, it’s over already," wrote Postmedia's Don Braid..The poll shows Edmonton remains "rock-solid for the NDP", with 57% support compared to 36% for the UCP..Outside those two cities it's 61% for the UCP, and only 26% for the New Democrats..Brown is a respected pollster in Alberta with 30 years experience..When asked about the poll at a Calgary press conference Monday, Notley said, "it's close."."Every vote is going to count and Albertans have an opportunity to choose strong leadership," Notley said.."They have an opportunity to choose capable, reasonable, stable government, and their vote is going to matter in this election.".Notley said voters should vote for someone who they can "trust."."And so my response to this is, that I encourage folks to to get out and vote because there's two very different paths our province could embark upon, and every Albertan should be part of that choice."
