THE
EASIEST
PREDICTION
WE WILL
EVER MAKE
You already know what this is going to say. If the outcome of the Saskatchewan election was clear at tart it is even clearer now. That’s why we’re declaring this the easiest election we’ve ever had to call.
The Saskatchewan election was delayed from its scheduled fixed election in early November of 2015 duconflicting schedule with the federal election. As the unofficial campaign began in the winter of 2016, m
national issues and international issues were making headlines that affected Saskatchewan direcpecifically, the prolonged oil price decline, questions about pipeline development, and the considerat
of a national plan for carbon pricing. During this time, Brad Wall was the voice defending the resounterests of Saskatchewan, supporting pipeline development in Energy East and making a case aga
carbon pricing during this downturn. This is the natural advantage of incumbency, as Premier, Brad Wwas able to speak to these issues and stand up for Saskatchewan interests.
As the campaign began, Brad Wall and the Sask Party enjoyed a tremendous lead over the NDP and C
Broten. The campaign began with the dissolution of the Saskatchewan Legislature on March 8 2016 ome opportunities for growth were there for the NDP and Liberals as media attention would be balan
across all leaders and parties.
nstead of making gains the NDP spent its first week firing candidates and then firing their campamanager - it was a terrible start. A shouty debate later in the campaign also didn’t do much to move needle.
During the last federal election, we saw stable voter intention patterns in very few regions in Cana
Saskatchewan being the sole region that remained consistent and stable from start to finish in marathon campaign. In other words, there was never any doubt.
The only remaining questions at this point are about the size of the majority, whether the NDP can mainheir seat count in the Legislature, and whether the Sask Liberals will come in third or fourth.
Brad Wall is going to win. You were right all along.

SASKATCHEWAN PARTY MAJORITY GOVERNMENT
April 1st, 2016 (Ottawa, ON) – A new Mainstreet/Postmedia poll finds the Saskatchewan Party on crcontrol for a victory Monday night. The Mainstreet/Postmedia Poll has a margin of error of +/- 2.72%
imes out of 20.
Brad Wall is on track to win a new majority government” said Quito Maggi, President of Mainstr
Research. “The Saskatchewan Party has support across all regions. 91% of Saskatchewan supporters hey are strong supporters who will not change their minds. It’s over.”
There is some question as to whether the Green Party will be able to deliver its support to the p
Traditionally, the Greens always underperform their poll numbers and in this case the Green Party doeshave a full slate.”
Mr. Broten started this campaign by putting out fires. Burnt by social media he headed into a must-
debate which need to be a game-changer - it wasn‘t. The NDP may be able to pull off some upsets in urcentres but it will take local candidates far out-running the party brand with some of the best campaalent on the ground.
Polling Saskatchewan’s election has been a privilege. I am pleased that following the election we continue to look at key issues affecting the province. Mainstreet was the only polling firm to regulelease numbers throughout the campaign. I want to thank the thousands of Saskatchewan residents w
ook part in Mainstreet Polls in this election,” finished Maggi.

“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
