NDP SLIDES INTO THIRD
February 6th, 2016 (Toronto, ON) – A new Mainstreet/Postmedia poll find if an election were hoday in Alberta it would be a tight three way race - with the NDP in third. T
Mainstreet/Postmedia Poll has a margin of error of +/- 1.76%, 19 times out of 20.
Quite frankly Premier Notley walked into a fiscal disaster” said Quito Maggi, PresidentMainstreet Research. “The big story here is the return of Alberta’s PC party. There’s nothing they
particularly done in the last few months that stands out - this is movement based disappointment with the NDP government. Even though the Premier doesn’t set the price of he’s the one in power. She just happens to be in the right place at the wrong time.”
Among decided voters it would be a tight race with all parties within 5%. The Wildrose would lwith 33%, the PCs would follow at 31% and the NDP would stand at 27%.
Meanwhile Notley’s approval rating continues to fall to a new low of 36%. She is universally belo
by NDP supporters however. 98% of NDP voters approve of her performance.
Those who like her, love her,” continued Maggi. “Meanwhile, most Albertans are happy with esults of the Royalty Review, 60% say they approve of the outcome. NDP supporters are the mupportive so this has gone over well with the NDP base.”
We also found strong support for job incentive programs. 56% say they approve and only 25%
opposed,” he finished.

“I recommend "Raiders of the Lost Campaign Arc," released Oct. 18, because it’s an interviewwith a pollster that everyone who follows politics should hear. Quito Maggi, of Mainstreet Pub
Research, was the only pollster I saw call the Liberal majority with such confidence, a weekbefore we voted.
Maggi also has the distinction of being the guy who predicted the BC Liberals would win in 20in defiance of the majority of the polls.
His technique involves picking a true bellwether riding and polling it thoroughly. His explanatiofor how he does it is well worth a listen and should be required research for anyone running
political campaign.” - Shannon Rupp, The Tyee, November 4th, 2015
