New polls show Sask. NDP leading over Sask. Party ahead of election day

A pair of new pre-election polls indicate that the Saskatchewan NDP has a slight lead ahead of election day.

A pair of new pre-election polls suggest the Saskatchewan NDP is entering election day with a slight lead.

Mainstreet Research conducted a survey from Oct. 22 to Oct. 24 with a sample size of 820 adults living in Saskatchewan.

Respondents were asked: If a provincial election were held today, how would you vote?

Among all voters, the Saskatchewan NDP led with 42 per cent, followed by the Saskatchewan Party at 38 per cent.

A total of 15 per cent of those surveyed were undecided, while five per cent intended to vote for another party.

Among decided voters, the NDP’s support rose to 49 per cent, while the Sask. Party recorded 45 per cent. Seven per cent intended to vote for another party.

Mainstreet’s margin of error for the poll is plus minus 3.4 per cent at the 95 per cent confidence level. The company noted that margins of error are higher in each subsample and that totals may not add up 100 per cent due to rounding.
