The telephone poll by Mainstreet Research shows Saskatchewan’s NDP with a 49 per cent lead, while the Saskatchewan Party has 45 per cent.
As election day looms on Monday, another poll confirms momentum for Saskatchewan’s New Democrats.
A Mainstreet Research telephone poll conducted Tuesday to Thursday shows the NDP with the support of 49 per cent of decided voters, compared to 45 per cent for the Saskatchewan Party, which has governed the province since 2007.
The poll of 820 adults was conducted using automated telephone interviews reaching people with landlines and cellphones. The margin of error is considered within plus or minus 3.4 percentage points 19 times out of 20.
Among decided voters, seven per cent said they planned to vote for another party.
The NDP sent out a news release Saturday morning saying the Mainstreet poll results show people in the province want change.
In the 2020 election, the Saskatchewan Party continued its dominance, winning 48 out of the province’s 61 seats with 61 per cent of the vote, in the first election with Moe as leader.
The NDP, under former leader Ryan Meili, won 13 seats with 32 per cent of the vote four years ago.
