Danielle Smith’s popularity dips as her party now tied with NDP in support: poll
UCP sees support drop in Calgary by 10 points since the spring
New polling suggests both impressions of Premier Danielle Smith personally and support for her party are slipping in Alberta, with the UCP now essentially neck-and-neck with the opposition NDP.
The Janet Brown Opinion Research Poll for CBC News suggests 41 per cent of respondents would vote for the UCP if an election were held today, while 41 per cent would vote for the NDP.
In a similar poll conducted this spring, pollster Janet Brown said Smith’s government was enjoying the longest honeymoon period ([url]https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/janet-brown-poll-ucp-danielle-smith-road-ahead-9.7177527[/url]) since the Ralph Klein-era.
But now?
“I think the UCP is having a struggle navigating this difficult situation that we're in right now,” said Brown. “Having a controversial referendum, the premier taking one position on the referendum [and] also trying to advocate for the nine other questions.”
