Alberta Referendum Questions & Municipal Poll

From July 22 to 26, 2021, Leger conducted an online survey of Albertans to explore:

Whether they believe that Alberta is heading in the right or wrong direction;
Their provincial voting intentions;
Their municipal voting intentions;
Their likelihood to vote in the next municipal election;
How an endorsement from certain politicians would influence their vote for municipal candidates;
and more.

About half (54%) of Albertans feel that Alberta is headed in the wrong direction.
Among decided and leaning voters, the NDP (45%) is leading the UCP (34%).
71% of Albertans claim they are comfortable voting in the upcoming municipal elections knowing that unvaccinated people may be present in the lines or polling stations.
One-fifth (20%) of Calgarians claim they would vote for Jeromy Farkas while almost half (46%) remain undecided.
Amarjeet Sohi (29%) is leading in Edmonton. Conversely, 43% remain undecided.
Three-in-five (57%) Albertans believe that Alberta should permanently remain on Daylight Saving Time.
Three-in-five (58%) Calgarians believe in reintroducing fluoridation of the municipal water supply.

A total of n=1,377 online surveys were conducted among Albertans aged 18 or older via Leger’s LEO Panel, including n=526 in Edmonton CMA, n=523 in Calgary CMA, and n=359 in areas outside of Edmonton CMA or Calgary CMA.
The survey was conducted from July 22 to 26, 2021, using computer-assisted web interviewing (CAWI) technology.
As a non-random internet survey, a margin of error is not reported. If the data were collected through a random sample, the margin of error for a sample size of n=1,377 Albertans would be ±3.0%, 19 times out of 20.
Using data from the 2016 Census, results were weighted according to age, gender, and region in order to ensure a representative sample of the population.
