The NDP appears to have some momentum in Saskatchewan’s provincial election campaign with less than a week until votes are tallied.
The NDP appears to have some momentum in Saskatchewan’s provincial election campaign with less than a week until votes are tallied.
In a new exclusive poll from CTV News in partnership with Insightrix Research, the NDP appears to have pulled ahead slightly among decided voters.
Surveyed between Oct. 18 and 20, 50 per cent of voters say they’ll cast their ballots for the NDP, compared to 45 per cent for the Saskatchewan Party, breaking a near tie shown in previous polling.
“They're still very, very close and they're still within that margin of error,” said Insightrix Research Director Lang McGilp. “But we are seeing a slight shift that's taken place since about a month ago right before the election was called to right now, where we've got 50 per cent of people saying that they would vote for the NDP and 45 for Sask. Party.”
The number of undecided voters has significantly decreased from the previous CTV News/Insightrix poll in September, from 33 per cent to 21 per cent.
“People's opinions can fluctuate and change a little bit in terms of what they're going to do,” McGilp said. “So the closer we can get [polling] to an event like this, I think the better.”
